“Some Roads Don’t Loop Back”

VERSE 1 — Solo Lead (Leah) There’s a dust-trail on my memory, Where your footprints used to be. We were younger then, just runnin’, Chasin’ something we couldn’t see. But the miles kept unfolding, Like they had their own design — We took different turns without knowing They were keepin’ us aligned. CHORUS — Full Harmony Some roads don’t loop back, And that’s alright with me. They take you where you’re goin’, Not where you used to be. Some chapters close so gently You don’t know what you lack — No sorrow in the ending, Just a quiet kind of fact… Some roads don’t loop back. VERSE 2 — Solo Lead (Mara) I still think about that summer, How the heat could bend our dreams. Nights were made of porch-light laughter, Mornings made of coffee steam. But the world kept rearrangin’, As the years slipped off the shelf — What we carried from those moments Made us truer to ourselves. CHORUS — Full Harmony Some roads don’t loop back, And that’s alright with me. They take you where you’re goin’, Not where you used to be. Some chapters close so gently You don’t know what you lack — No sorrow in the ending, Just a quiet kind of fact… Some roads don’t loop back. BRIDGE — Gentle 3-Part Weave (All three trading lines) Leah: We learned to bless the distance… Mara: We learned to love the climb… June: And every mile behind us Made us kinder with time. All: Maybe what we’re keepin’ Ain’t the places where we’ve gone — But the hearts we’ve grown into As we kept movin’ on. VERSE 3 — June (low lead, others humming) So here’s to all the crossroads, Where we paused but didn’t stay. To the lessons tucked in silence, And the things we’ve tucked away. We ain’t lookin’ over shoulders, We ain’t wishin’ to rewind — We’re just grateful for the journey And the peace it left behind. FINAL CHORUS — Soft Harmony, then full bloom Some roads don’t loop back, And that’s alright with me. They take you where you’re goin’, Not where you used to be. Some moments drift so sweetly They don’t need to circle back — No sorrow in the ending, Just a gentle fade to black… Some roads don’t loop back. OUTRO — Whisper-Harmony Some roads… don’t loop back… And that’s… alright.
