Fading Atlas - POLAROIDS ON THE DASHBOARD

There’s a Polaroid stuck to the dashboard Your eyes caught mid-laugh, slightly blurred The sun cracked the film like it knew Time peels back love in shades of blue I drive where the signal fades out slow Where gas stations hum like faded radio That mixtape you made is stuck on repeat A voice like yours is hard to delete (Pulling over) Just to feel the ache (Sky turns silver) Like it did at the lake Do you remember the July rain? Kissing in the car like the world might cave in We carved our names in motel paint But stories like ours don’t get told straight (Maybe in another reel) (You stayed the night, I felt you real) In this version, we never run We just fade like Super 8 in the sun I wrote your name on the frost last week Watched it melt like a secret too weak Sometimes I chase tail lights just to feel That flicker of “once” before it’s not real Do you remember the July rain? Kissing in the car like the world might cave in We carved our names in motel paint But stories like ours don’t get told straight There’s a Polaroid stuck to the dashboard Colors fading, like we asked for more And I still drive west just to find The parts of you you left behind © 2025 Symbiosis Music / All rights reserved.
