Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] We were kids on the back porch Drinking rain from our bare hands Summer ran like a freight train We just hung from the railings Laughing Now the porch has a fresh coat New shoes by the front door Same sky But it feels closer Guess I’m taller than before [Chorus] Life keeps changing in a second Every breath another scene All these broken Blurry moments Fit together in between Like polaroids in motion Spinning slow inside my head All the colors from our yesterday Painting where I’m going next [Verse 2] I still drive past the old school See your name in the cracked paint We were sure it would last forever Then forever just changed its shape You moved out to the coastline I learned how to be alone We both packed up different futures But we’re carrying the same old songs [Chorus] Life keeps changing in a second Every breath another scene All these broken Blurry moments Fit together in between Like polaroids in motion Spinning slow inside my head All the colors from our yesterday Painting where I’m going next [Bridge] Every goodbye Stitches to a simple thread Running through time Tying what was to what’s ahead If it hurt If it healed It belongs to me still Every joy Every scar Building who I am [Chorus] Life keeps changing in a second Every breath another scene All these broken Blurry moments Fit together in between Like polaroids in motion Spinning slow inside my head All the wonder from our yesterday Making something brighter Making something brighter Where I’m going next
