[Verse 1]
Started with that concert wristband
Last tour
Last song
Last call
Pop star fading off the monitors
While we’re laughing in the back hall
You cried at the final encore
I joked that we were getting old
Didn’t know that night was our prologue
To a story I still tell slow
[Chorus]
We tried to fall in love
But we were better at the miles
Windows down in the desert sun
Sharing secrets
Sharing smiles
From the canyon rim
To the late night parking lot
We tried to fall in love
But a great friendship’s what we got (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You mapped the switchbacks
I packed snacks
We burned our shoulders
Lost the trail
You read the signs in that red dust
I read your face when plans failed
Sang off-key through empty counties
Argued which snacks were the best
You slept small against the window
I stayed up and drove the rest
[Chorus]
We tried to fall in love
But we were better at the miles
Windows down in the desert sun
Sharing secrets
Sharing smiles
From the canyon rim
To the late night parking lot
We tried to fall in love
But a great friendship’s what we got
[Bridge]
Sometimes I drift and wonder
If we ever crossed that line
Would we still be trading playlists
On a Tuesday
Killing time?
I’m glad we never forced it
Didn’t crush what felt this right
You’re the number that I dial first
When I’m lonely on a Friday night (hey)
[Chorus]
We tried to fall in love
But we were better at the miles
Still chasing random road signs
Still laughing at our own trials
From the canyon rim
To whatever’s down the block
We tried to fall in love
Now this friendship’s all we’ve got
Yeah we tried to fall in love
And this friendship’s more than enough
