Still Breathing

Verse 1

We’re burning headlights down a coastal road

Radio static, but we sing it bold

Your laugh cuts through the midnight air

Like we’re still kids with nothing to spare

Posters peeling off your bedroom wall

Said we’d leave, but we stayed through it all

Every promise written in Sharpie ink

Fading faster than we want to think

Pre-Chorus

If this town’s a cage, then let it shake

I’m tired of living half awake

Chorus

So turn it up till the windows break

Let the ocean hear every mistake

We’re young, we’re loud, we’re barely okay

But we’re still breathing, still finding our way

If tomorrow comes crashing down tonight

We’ll set it on fire, yeah we’ll be alright

Verse 2

Late-night talks on a rusted hood

Saying “one day” like we always would

Dreams hit hard but reality hits harder

Still chasing sparks through the falling armor

We learned how to lose, learned how to fight

Learned some scars don’t fade with time

But I swear when I hear that sound

My heart beats faster, I’m homeward bound

Pre-Chorus

If hope’s a match, then strike it twice

I’m done betting against my life

Chorus

So turn it up till the windows break

Let the ocean hear every mistake

We’re young, we’re loud, we’re barely okay

But we’re still breathing, still finding our way

If tomorrow comes crashing down tonight

We’ll set it on fire, yeah we’ll be alright

Bridge

Maybe growing up just means

Learning how to carry broken things

I won’t pretend I’m not afraid

But I won’t let fear decide my fate

Whoa-oh, whoa

We’re still here, and that’s enough

Whoa-oh, whoa

We’re made of heart and bad luck

Final Chorus

So turn it up, let the past ignite

All our doubts in a flood of light

We’re young, we’re loud, we’re still okay

Even when everything drifts away

If tomorrow’s a long hard fight

We’ll scream our truth into the night

Outro

Same old town, but a different sound

I’m not lost—I’m just not tied down
