(Verse 1)
Hot summer air on that coastal street
Salt on your skin, sand on my feet
You said my name like you meant forever
Under palm trees, swore we’d stay together
We were laughing on that balcony view
Cheap wine, sunset bleeding into blue
You drew plans in the air with your hands
Like love could outrun where we land
(Pre-Chorus)
Said “we’ll make it work, don’t think twice”
Guess we were just high on paradise
(Chorus)
Now it’s 3AM my time, noon where you are
You’re under stadium lights, I’m staring at stars
You say “they’re just friends,” yeah I know their names
Seen ‘em lighting up your phone like it’s all a game
Cleats on the ground, crowd screaming your name
While I’m at home trying not to go insane
You get mad if I talk to anyone new
But I’m supposed to be cool with you
Yeah, I held on till it hurt my pride
Then I chose my peace over your side
(Verse 2)
I remember that night by the waterline
You pulled me close, said “you’re mine”
Now it’s distance, doubt, and different lives
And every call just picks a fight
You’d say practice ran late again
But your stories didn’t match up then
Every “trust me” hit different now
When I’m the one you’re shutting out
(Pre-Chorus)
We went from easy to walking on glass
From something real to something that couldn’t last
(Chorus)
Now it’s 3AM my time, noon where you are
You’re under stadium lights, I’m staring at stars
You say “they’re just friends,” yeah I know their names
Seen ‘em lighting up your phone like it’s all a game
Cleats on the ground, crowd screaming your name
While I’m at home trying not to go insane
You get mad if I talk to anyone new
But I’m supposed to be cool with you
Yeah, I held on till it hurt my pride
Then I chose my peace over your side
(Bridge)
I remember who you were that first night
Not the version in those bright lights
Somewhere between cheers and calls
We lost it all in those long-distance walls
(Breakdown)
Same spark, same flame
Different now, not the same
Too far gone to make it right
So I let you go that night
(Outro)
Now the air’s still hot but it don’t feel the same
No more late calls saying my name
Yeah, we were something I can’t deny
But not something I’d keep in my life
