Slow Motion Memories (Intro) Yeah… Some memories fade… Some memories become the foundation of who we are. SILL-E… Verse 1 Sometimes I slow it down just to revisit old days, Back when every sunrise felt like a brand-new page. Arizona raised me, under that desert sky, Young enough to feel fearless, never asking why. Me and my best friend Gabe, always side by side, Dreaming way too big with the whole world in our eyes. Riding through the neighborhood, laughing ’til it hurt, Thought tomorrow was a promise, never something we deserved. Life was full of music, backyard parties every week, Talking ’bout the future like it was already reached. We were writing our own story, never counting every cost, Never knowing one chapter would end with such a loss. Hook Slow motion memories… Every picture still lives in me. Though the years keep rolling on, Love is stronger than what’s gone. Slow motion memories… Every scar became a key. God was writing every line, Even when I couldn’t see. Verse 2 Then the phone call came and everything stood still, Silence hit my heart harder than time ever will. Gabe left this world way before his time, But his name still echoes in every rhyme I write. I still hear his laughter when the room gets quiet, Still feel his strength whenever life starts a riot. People leave this earth, but love don’t disappear, It’s carried through our spirit every single year. Now when I chase my dreams, I know he runs beside me, Cheering from a place these earthly eyes can’t see. Every beat I build, every lyric that I write, I hope it makes him proud somewhere beyond the light. Hook Slow motion memories… Every picture still lives in me. Though the years keep rolling on, Love is stronger than what’s gone. Slow motion memories… Grace keeps carrying me. Every step I take today Was shaped by yesterday. Verse 3 Life kept moving, and God opened up new doors, Brought Michelle into my life when I couldn’t search anymore. All the heartbreak, all the pain, all the nights I felt alone, Were preparing me for blessings I could finally call home. Now I hold my family closer than I ever did before, Knowing every single moment is a gift worth living for. I still look behind me, but I don’t stay there long, ‘Cause the past became the reason that my faith grew strong. So if you’re missing someone, let their love become your flame, Live the life they’d celebrate and keep speaking their name. We’re only here a moment, so give your heart away… Because the greatest memories never truly fade. Final Hook Slow motion memories… Every picture still lives in me. Love keeps writing through the years, Through the laughter and the tears. Slow motion memories… They’re forever part of me. Until the day we meet again, Your spirit walks with me. Spoken Word Outro If I could sit with Gabe one more time… I wouldn’t talk about the things we never got to do. I’d thank him for every laugh, every lesson, every memory that still finds its way back when life slows down. People think someone is gone because they can’t see them anymore. But love doesn’t work that way. Love leaves fingerprints on your soul. It changes how you walk, how you dream, how you treat the people around you. So every time I make music… every time I smile when I remember those days… a part of Gabe is still here. This isn’t goodbye. It’s a promise. As long as I have breath… as long as these memories keep playing… you’ll never be forgotten. Slow motion memories… Forever.
