[Verse 1] There’s a name carved into stone With two dates below That’s all the world will ever see But it’s not the whole story All the laughter, all the scars Every tear and every dream Even the wrong turns that you made They shaped the love you gave ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] They’ll read your years, say goodbye But they won’t see your whole life ⸻ [Chorus] It’s the dash between the dates That’s where you lived, that’s what remains Every love you shared Still echoing today It’s the life you chose to live Even through the bends and breaks Yeah the stone may mark your place But we feel the dash between the dates ⸻ [Verse 2] In the way you held on tight When it hurt but you still tried In the moments you fell down And still found your way around In the little things you did In the love you always gave That’s the part we’ll never lose That’s the part that never fades ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] They’ll write it down in black and white But they can’t capture your whole life ⸻ [Chorus] It’s the dash between the dates That’s where you lived, that’s what remains Every love you shared Still echoing today It’s the life you chose to live Even through the bends and breaks Yeah the stone may mark your place But we know the dash between the dates ⸻ [Bridge] Not every step was always right Not every road led straight to light But every moment, wrong or true Still brought the world a piece of you So we won’t just stand in tears We’ll carry you through all our years In every step, in every breath You’re still here in all our hearts ⸻ [Final Chorus] It’s the dash between the dates Where your soul still radiates Every memory remains Running through our veins It’s the love you left behind Still alive in all our lives Yeah the dates may fade away But the memories will always stay ⸻ [Outro] They’ll see the dates… we’ll remember the life
