[Intro] (acoustic fingerpicking) (soft ambient synth) [Verse 1] (soft male vocals) Heatwaves rising on the asphalt skin Summer static buzzing deep within We sat upon the rusted wooden fence Counting cars before the world made sense [Chorus] (layered vocal harmonies) And the steel wheels roll through the afternoon Fading echoes under a pale white moon Always moving, never staying long Just a line written in a forgotten song [Verse 2] (drums enter quietly) Pockets heavy with copper and glass Watching the golden hours slowly pass Your shadow stretched across the gravel track Looking forward, never looking back [Chorus] (dynamic acoustic strumming, rich background choir) And the steel wheels roll through the afternoon Fading echoes under a pale white moon Always moving, never staying long Just a line written in a forgotten song [Interlude] (rhythmic hand claps) (percussive acoustic break) [Bridge] (heavy distorted guitar riff, aggressive drums) (belted, emotional vocals) Torn tickets lying in the dusty grass How fast did the innocent summers pass? The engine screams into the turning dark A fleeting ember, a dying spark [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] (soaring vocals, high energy acoustic and electric blend) And the steel wheels roll through the afternoon Fading echoes under a pale white moon Always moving, never staying long Just a line written in a forgotten song [Outro] (gentle acoustic strumming) (whispered) Counting cars One hundred nine, one hundred ten (fading tone)
