Verse 1 We were just kids with the radio low, Two souls stretching in the afterglow, Trading schemes like stolen dreams come to light, Swearing the world would wait for the time to be right. Pre-Chorus The sirens learned our street by name, Maps redrawn, no nothing stayed the same, You held my hand until the sky burned down, Said come back to me, I said me too, me too, Chorus We were two friends who fell in love too slow, Now there’s an ocean where the sidewalks were, you know, A world of distance, of fire and sound, Still every road I walk turns back around, to you. Verse 2 Your letters smell like you in the rain, Stained with time, stitched with pain, I read your words by a flickering light, almost gone, Tracing your face in the quiet light, I’ll never forget those lines. Where we longed for one more dance, one more song, Pre-Chorus They teach you how to march, not how to feel, How to aim steady, how to steel what’s real, But every night when the guns go quiet, Your name riots in mind, of lovely Charis my baby Lovelace.. Chorus We were two friends who fell in love too slow, Now there’s an ocean where the sidewalks were, you know, A world of distance, of fire and sound, Still every road I walk turns back around, to you. Bridge If I could fold this war in two, Make a paper crane and fly to you, I’d trade my armor, trade my pride, For one more walk at your side, One more light breaking on the horizon, I ain’t lying.. Breakdown Time keeps lying, says wait your turn, wait and earn it, Borders close but the heart won’t learn, won’t forget it, Every ending they try to write to this world, All I see is that same girl, and where dreams burn, burn until the end, Final Chorus We were two friends who fell in love too slow, Now there’s an ocean where the sidewalks were, you know, A world of distance, of fire and sound, Still every road I walk turns back around, to you. Outro When the last shot fades and the skies go blue, I’ll still be walking back to you, and I won’t stop, Not for 500 miles, or 5 million bullets, No I can’t stop til those lips hit mine and foolish love wins out
