I realized I uploaded this last night without the Audio 😭 I can be so bad with details. Here’s what I’ve been working on! I’ve really loved living In Nashville. It’s honestly been perfect. But I do miss my roots and my family in Chicago. So here’s a song I wrote about that. It still needs work. I want to find a way to replace the backing vocals in the third chorus with a choir or something stronger. Just got to assemble a few people haha Let me know what you think! Love you all!
I still remember the echo - If your laughter in the halls - Barefoot on the pavement - Thought I’d have you through it all - We were chasing something endless - Didn’t know what it would cost - Who knew that getting older - Meant a piece of us gets lost
I can see it in the snapshots - Frozen in a golden frame - Every year kept moving faster - None of them would stay the same - There was magic in the chaos - There was beauty in the fall - And we’re walking different paths now - But I swear I still feel it all
And I wouldn’t change a moment - Even knowing how it ends - But that doesn’t make it easier - Letting go of who we were back then
In another life - We’d never say goodbye - Stay young beneath an endless sky - Together just you and I - We’re running wild - Like nothing’s changed inside - No heavy hearts or weight to hold - No worries or growing old - Chase forever and ever still never regretting time - Oh in another life
Now the air feels different - But it’s clearer than before - There’s a peace inside the silence - That I was always searching for - And I know I’m where I’m meant to be - I can feel it within my soul - But that doesn’t mean I don’t still miss the place - That I let go
There’s beauty in the breaking - There’s a purpose in the pain - Every step that led me here was worth the storm the rain - Still I catch myself rewinding - Just to feel it one more time - Like a ghost of something perfect - That I had to leave behind
And I wouldn’t take it back now - Even if I had the chance - But my heart still aches in quiet ways - For a life that couldn’t last
In another life - We’d never say goodbye - Stay young beneath an endless sky - Together just you and I - We’re running wild - Like nothing’s changed inside - No heavy hearts or weight to hold - No worries or growing old - Chase forever and ever still never regretting time - Oh in another life - In another life - Hey
Maybe we were never meant to keep it - Maybe it was only ours to feel - A fleeting kind of heaven we could live in - But never hold though it all felt so real
And maybe that’s the beauty of the story - Not everything was meant to stay - Sometimes it’s only meant to shape you - Until it slowly fades away
But in another life we’re still alive - In every dream I close my eyes - Still running free still side by side - Still laughing like we never lost the light
And I’ll carry you in everything I do - In every song in every truth - You’re not gone you’re just behind - A different road a different time
So I’ll keep walking I’ll be alright - Even with tears I cannot fight - ’Cause what we had was real was right - Just not forever in this life
