The tide erased our names Before we learned to say goodbye. A warm wind carried Everything we thought we'd keep. The streets were glowing After a quiet summer rain, But somehow the air stayed clear, Like the clouds forgot to linger. You smiled Like nothing had been lost, Like sunsets never worry About becoming night. Take it real slow, The light is still enough. No need to hold tomorrow When today is bright enough. We chased reflections Across the windows of passing cars, Watching every moment fade Without asking it to remain. I hear your voice Somewhere inside the waves, Not calling me back, Just reminding me to breathe. Maybe every ending Leaves a little color in the sky. Maybe every distance Makes another place feel like home. The horizon keeps changing, Yet the sea never seems afraid. It lets each broken shimmer Become another line of gold. So we'll drift With the windows open, Leaving only tire marks The morning won't remember. If the stars arrive too early, We'll borrow the last of the daylight. If silence finds us first, We'll let it sing instead. Take it real slow, Nothing has to stay forever. Even fading colors Can make the clearest weather. And when the road disappears Beyond the edge of the evening, We'll carry only the warmth, Leaving every shadow to the sun.
