lost in the sunset

Verse 1

Truck tires kicking up dust on an old backroad trail,

Windows down, cold breeze cutting through the stale.

Left my worries in the valley, let the chaos disappear,

Nothing but the sound of my heartbeat and the wild out here.

Been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders too long,

Living every day like I had something to prove all along.

But the higher that I climb, the smaller my fears seem,

Standing where the earth touches heaven feels like a dream.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

No signal, no noise, no clock telling me when,

Just the sky turning gold as the daylight ends.

For the first time in forever, I can finally breathe,

Let the mountains remind me exactly who I am underneath.

⸻

Chorus

I’m getting lost in the sunset on a mountain top,

Watching all my heavy thoughts finally stop.

Painted skies, open roads, nowhere I gotta be,

Just me and the wind learning what it means to be free.

With the fire in the clouds and the stars waking up,

Every scar, every mile somehow adds up.

Hands raised high like I’m touching eternity,

Getting lost in the sunset is finding the best part of me.

⸻

Verse 2

That orange horizon got me thinking about the miles I’ve made,

Every wrong turn, every heartbreak, every risk I took unafraid.

The view hits different when you fought your way to the climb,

All those sleepless nights led to this moment in time.

So I close my eyes and let the cool air fill my lungs,

Hear echoes of the person that I used to run from.

Now I’m standing on the edge of everything I used to fear,

And for the first time in my life, I don’t wanna leave here.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

No expectations, no chains holding me down,

Just the sound of the silence and the world spinning ‘round.

The sun dips low, but my soul’s on fire,

Out here, I finally found what I’ve been chasing my whole life.

⸻

Chorus

I’m getting lost in the sunset on a mountain top,

Watching all my heavy thoughts finally stop.

Painted skies, open roads, nowhere I gotta be,

Just me and the wind learning what it means to be free.

With the fire in the clouds and the stars waking up,

Every scar, every mile somehow adds up.

Hands raised high like I’m touching eternity,

Getting lost in the sunset is finding the best part of me.

⸻

Bridge

So if you’re carrying the weight that nobody can see,

Take the long way home and let your soul breathe.

Find a place where the skyline meets your dreams,

You’ll realize freedom’s closer than it seems.

⸻

Final Chorus

I’m getting lost in the sunset on a mountain top,

Watching all my heavy thoughts finally stop.

Golden light shining hope where the darkness used to be,

Just me and the wind learning what it means to be free.

As the last rays fade and the night rolls in,

I know tomorrow I’ll do it all again.

’Cause sometimes getting lost is exactly what you need,

To find yourself in the sunset and remember how to dream.

⸻

Outro (soft vocals):

The world keeps spinning down below…

But up here, time moves slow…

And somewhere between the sky and the trees…
