[Verse 1] I’ve left my name on pages Built ideas from scattered sparks Spent my nights making maps For roads still hiding in the dark Always one more thing to learn One more hill beyond the hill As if finishing the next thing Could finally make me still [Chorus] But I wonder about the footnotes The stories underneath The hobbies never mastered The friends I couldn’t keep The songs I never finished The afternoons I gave away Chasing something worth remembering While forgetting ordinary days [Verse 2] Maybe legacy is smaller Than the monuments we plan Maybe someone felt less lonely Because I tried to understand Maybe every grand ambition Is just fear dressed up in gold Trying desperately to leave proof We were here before we’re old [Outro] If the final page comes early I hope somewhere it will show I loved the questions deeply Even those I’ll never know
