[Verse 1]
Thought it was just Friday
Couple beers, old friends
You said you’d call your mama
You never called again
Preacher read your story
Over folding chairs
We all wore our best shirts
Wiped our eyes, stared at the air
[Chorus]
It’s one more photo on the dresser
One more name we carve in stone
One more song that hits me harder
When I drive back home alone
We keep lighting up these candles
Like they’ll keep the dark away
Fentanyl keeps stealing faces
Till there’s too many names to say
[Verse 2]
They found her by the window
TV humming low
Little brother tried to wake her
Didn’t wanna let her go
Doctor used big letters
Mama heard one word
Another folded flag of hope
Another prayer never heard
[Chorus]
It’s one more photo on the dresser
One more name we carve in stone
One more sweatshirt on the hanger
No one’s ever putting on
We keep lighting up these candles
Like they’ll keep the dark away
Fentanyl keeps stealing faces
Till there’s too many names to say
[Bridge]
How did something so tiny
Turn our whole world to black
You think you’re just chasing a feeling
You don’t get a second chance
I’m begging every stranger
Every kid who feels alone
Please don’t be another story
That we’re crying over back home (hey)
[Chorus]
It’s one more photo on the dresser
One more chair that stays pushed in
One more birthday on the calendar
We won’t get to sing again
So we’re lighting up these candles
Till the hurt begins to fade
Fentanyl keeps stealing faces
God, there’s too many names to say
[Outro]
I whisper each one softly
Till my own voice slips away
