[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Tires scream on roads I barely saw,
Chased the horizon, but I lost it all.
Neon signs bled into streaks of light,
Ran through years like I owned the night.
Now I’m parked, staring at the dust,
Wishing I’d slowed before the rust.
[Instrumental Break 1]
[Chorus]
Days went fast, they burned too bright,
Left me stranded in the dead of night.
Every mile I raced, I lost my way,
Wishing I’d lingered in yesterday.
Oh, I’m haunted by the life I sped,
Chasing ghosts of the words unsaid.
[Verse 2]
Skipped the sunsets, never caught their glow,
Pushed through moments, didn’t let ‘em grow.
Friends’ voices faded in the rearview’s frame,
Too busy running to recall their names.
Now the radio’s static, no songs to play,
Just regrets that won’t drive away.
[Instrumental Break 2]
[Bridge]
I’d trade the rush for a single hour,
To sit on porches, to smell the flowers.
To hear my dad’s laugh, to hold Mom’s hand,
Before time slipped like grains of sand.
But the road’s too long, and I’m out of gas,
Mourning a life that I lived too fast.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus - Variation]
Days flew by, they scorched my soul,
Left me empty with a heart half-whole.
Every turn I took, I broke the past,
Wishing I’d loved what wasn’t built to last.
Oh, I’m tethered to the blur I made,
Grieving the moments that could’ve stayed.
[Outro]
Rearview’s cracked, but it shows me clear,
A life I rushed, now it’s gone from here.
