## Verse 1 We used to map our futures on the hood of borrowed cars Talking like the summer would stay frozen where we were Every cracked street felt immortal Every porch light felt like home We thought growing older meant weโ€™d simply stay close There were names carved into picnic tables Promises written into dust We believed the world would wait for us If we just wanted it enough --- ## Pre-Chorus But life moved quietly between the spaces Changing things we never saw One day the roads became directions And everyone was gone --- ## Chorus Goodbye to the plans we never reached To the rooms we swore weโ€™d someday keep Goodbye to the town that held our younger years To the certainty we carried without fear Some dreams donโ€™t disappear in anger They just loosen from your hands And you learn that letting go Is not the same as saying it never mattered --- ## Verse 2 I remember conversations after midnight Like they still hang inside the air We thought weโ€™d build a life together Without knowing life could scatter Now there are jobs and separate cities Bills stacked high beside the sink And pieces of who we were Still surface when I stop to think I traded certainty for motion A safer road than what I knew Sometimes survival asks for things You never thought youโ€™d have to lose --- ## Pre-Chorus No one tells you growing older Comes with small unfinished grief The kind that doesnโ€™t break you open Just changes what you keep --- ## Chorus Goodbye to the plans we never reached To the rooms we swore weโ€™d someday keep Goodbye to the town that held our younger years To the certainty we carried without fear Some dreams donโ€™t disappear in anger They just loosen from your hands And you learn that letting go Is not the same as saying it never mattered --- ## Bridge I still drive past familiar places And wonder who we might have been If time had bent a little softer If the story chose a different end But every road that carried distance Still brought me here somehow And maybe growing isnโ€™t losing Maybe itโ€™s learning what survives --- ## Final Chorus Goodbye to the lives we almost lived To the people we were trying to become Goodbye to the version of forever We thought would never come undone Some dreams stay folded in your memory Like letters kept inside a drawer Not forgotten, just belonging To a different life than yours --- ## Outro Goodbye to what could not stay Goodbye to who we used to be Not every ending means regret Some things leave so we can breathe Lyrics ยฉ 2026 Warrgrimm.
