[Verse 1]
Built these walls from vinyl dreams
Gold records and magazine scenes
Every city knew my name
Every night the same
Flashes white against my eyes
Living somewhere in the lights
If it all just slips away
The melody will stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I told myself that’s all I’d need
A crowd that never fades
If they remember what I sang
Then I’ll be okay
[Chorus]
The music will never fade
Even when the curtains fall
When the headlines turn to dust
And nobody calls
Through the static, through the years
Through whatever comes my way
If the song survives the silence
The music will never fade
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen your face on every screen
Heard your name in interviews
We’ve been standing on the same stage
Just different shades of blue
Funny how we never spoke
Until 2AM that night
No cameras, no entourages
Just fluorescent light
You said, “Didn’t think you’d shop here.”
I said, “Didn’t think you would.”
And somehow that small moment
Felt bigger than it should
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve heard your voice through speakers
Across a crowded room
But it sounded different
Standing next to you
[Chorus]
The music will never fade
But now I hear it change
It’s not just in the stadium
Or written on a page
It’s in the way you looked at me
Like we both already knew
We’d been circling the same world
Just waiting to break through
Through the silence, through the fame
Through every masquerade
Maybe what I thought was legacy
Was just a song that led me your way
The music will never fade
[Bridge]
We were parallel lines
In a spotlight haze
Close enough to recognize
Too far to ever say
Till midnight pulled the curtain
And stripped the stage away
And suddenly the loudest thing
Was everything we didn’t say
[Final Chorus]
The music will never fade
But it’s different than before
It’s not about the echoes
Or the encore
If the world keeps spinning fast
And the fame begins to blur
I’ll remember how it sounded
The first time I heard her
The music will never fade
