Verse 1 Moonlight on the dashboard, headlights in the rain Two silhouettes in silence, both afraid to say the pain Your tremblin’ hands fold inward, mine reach but miss the mark I replay every promise, like cassette wheels in the dark Pre-Chorus We were thunder on the airwaves, fire on the floor Tell me love can’t fade to black … not after what we swore Chorus Don’t say it’s the end— Don’t freeze this frame, don’t cut the scene Our silver-screen hearts still flicker on the screen If goodbye is the script you’ve gotta send Hold your breath, rewind again— Baby, don’t say it’s the end Verse 2 Lipstick on the coffee rim, echoes of a song Every note’s a memory begging us to sing along Your eyes are northern winter, mine are summer storms We’re a restless pair of seasons still tryin’ to keep warm Pre-Chorus We were echoes in the canyon, lovers on parade Tell me fate can’t pull the plug on the soundtrack that we made Chorus Don’t say it’s the end— Don’t dim those lights that used to dance We can find our rhythm, give the night one more chance If the script is torn, we can still amend Turn the page, start again— Baby, don’t say it’s the end Bridge (guitar solo slides into key change) Bring back the midnight drives, the mixtape lullabies Let the needle fall and spin away the lies I’d tear down every wall, chase every neon sign If there’s one spark left, this love can still survive Final Chorus (up a half-step, choir-style backing vox) Don’t say it’s the end— Rain can’t drown a heart so loud We can steal tomorrow from the thinning clouds If your mind is made, let your heart pretend One more kiss, let it mend— Baby, don’t say it’s the end (Echo ad-lib out: “Don’t say … don’t say … it’s not the end” over slowly fading synth arps and distant snare hits.)
