“The Memory of Us”
Heart Lines, Album No. 4, 2020
(Verse 1)
We were just kids with a dream,
Chasing shadows in the fading beams.
Empty streets were our stage,
Hearts wide open, no need for a cage.
No worries, no plans, just the sound of the stars,
Strings on a guitar, and the world wasn’t so far.
​
(Pre-Chorus)
But time’s a thief, it slips away,
Turns the golden glow to shades of gray.
​
(Chorus)
Maybe someday we’ll find our way,
Back to the place where we used to play.
But for now, I’ll hold on to,
The memory of us, the old me and you.
When life was simple, the nights were clear,
And the music was all we had to hear.
Maybe someday, maybe someday,
We’ll find the way we were.
​
(Verse 2)
The skyline grew, the stakes got high,
We traded whispers for flashing lights.
The rush of it all, it pulled us apart,
Left us tangled in the chaos, breaking hearts.
But sometimes I hear the echoes, faint and true,
Of the laughter and the love in the old me and you.
​
(Pre-Chorus)
But life got louder, we lost the tune,
The stars burned out, too fast, too soon.
​
(Chorus)
Maybe someday we’ll find our way,
Back to the place where we used to play.
But for now, I’ll hold on to,
The memory of us, the old me and you.
When life was simple, the nights were clear,
And the music was all we had to hear.
Maybe someday, maybe someday,
We’ll find the way we were.
​
(Bridge)
I see you in the shadows of those old streetlights,
Feel the rhythm in the quiet of the nights.
We were unstoppable, untouchable, free,
But the noise got too loud for you and me.
And I wonder, do you feel it too?
The ghost of the past, the pull of the truth?
​
(Chorus)
Maybe someday we’ll find our way,
Back to the place where we used to play.
But for now, I’ll hold on to,
The memory of us, the old me and you.
When life was simple, the nights were clear,
And the music was all we had to hear.
Maybe someday, maybe someday,
We’ll find the way we were.
​
(Outro)
For now, I’ll keep this melody,
A quiet song of what we used to be.
And maybe someday, when the world’s less cruel,
We’ll find the way we were, just me and you.
