02. WARM ROADS TOWARD QUIET

WARM ROADS TOWARD QUIET (The Sunliners — Chapter II) [Verse 1: Jon] I’ve been walkin’ every backroad, dust on my shoes, carryin’ memories like postcards of all I’ve been through. But every time the daylight fades and the highway turns to gold, I feel a pull I can’t explain— a quiet I’ve come to know. [Pre-Chorus: GraceAnn + Jon] We ain’t the kind that rushes love, we let the moments grow… But somehow every gentle thing keeps tellin’ us where to go. [Chorus: The Sunliners (3-part harmony)] You’re the quiet we keep driftin’ into, even when the world turns loud. You’re the stillness in the middle of a sunset, where the heart stops runnin’ around. We don’t chase you, darlin’, we just follow where the light pulls through— You’re the quiet we keep driftin’ into, and the quiet keeps driftin’ back to you. [Verse 2: GraceAnn] I seen fire in a thousand eyes, I seen nights that never healed… But your kind of gentle, honey, it’s the kind a soul can feel. Ain’t no storm inside this trio, just a warm and easy sway— we learn our lessons front-porch slow, one soft mile a day. [Pre-Chorus: GraceAnn + Shez] We ain’t tryin’ to claim your calm, ain’t tryin’ to make you choose— We’re just three hearts on the same old road, singin’ truths we never lose. [Chorus: The Sunliners (3-part harmony)] You’re the quiet we keep driftin’ into, even when the world turns loud. You’re the stillness in the middle of a sunset, where the heart stops runnin’ around. We don’t chase you, darlin’, we just follow where the light pulls through— You’re the quiet we keep driftin’ into, and the quiet keeps driftin’ back to you. [Bridge: Shez (soft lead)] Maybe we ain’t meant to catch the dawn, maybe dawn just walks beside us… Maybe love ain’t ever forced or drawn, maybe quiet just…
