Fading Atlas - SUNLIGHT IN THE REARVIEW

Cracked the windows, let the orchard in Smelled like apples, dust, and violin Your laugh shot sparks off the dashboard light You sang with the radio two beats late Feet on the dash, we tempted fate Sunlight tangled in your messy hair That look said, “Right now, we’re millionaires” (Click-click) Tires hum a rhythm we wrote (Sway-sway) Each mile a hand-sketched note Sunlight in the rearview, gold as a grin We ain't goin' back, just further in Hearts wide open like the window’s breeze Singin’ dumb harmonies with the pinewood trees We traded playlists at the old state line Laughed at the signs like they were punchlines You drew a mustache on the welcome sign "Every hero needs a weird design" (La la) A road trip’s just a moving frame (Ohhh) With coffee stains and silly games I never needed a better view Than you on beat two Sunlight in the rearview, gold as a grin We ain't goin' back, just further in Hearts wide open like the window’s breeze Singin’ dumb harmonies with the pinewood trees Cracked the windows, let the orchard in Still smell that road where we’ve both been The map was wrong, but we arrived Somewhere joy survived © 2025 Symbiosis Music / All rights reserved.
