Through the Pines

[Verse] Cigarette smoke curls in the amber light Leather jacket dreams on a Tuesday night Leaves fall slow like a movie reel I count the steps to forget what’s real [Chorus] Through the pines I chase the past Every shadow Every cast Gold dust skies still hold your name Forever’s just a word I blame [Verse 2] I walk the streets where we first met Your silhouette’s a fading threat Street signs whispered promises thin I hear your voice in the autumn wind [Prechorus] You said forever under neon scars Now I’m lost beneath the same cold stars [Chorus] Through the pines I chase the past Every shadow Every cast Gold dust skies still hold your name Forever’s just a word I blame [Bridge] Echoes of you in the forest deep Love’s a vow the trees can’t keep I close my eyes but it still rewinds Your ghost is tangled in the pines
