Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Met your face through a screen glow Typed your name like a prayer Slow Every message Every midnight Felt like fate trying to rewrite Threw a bag in the backseat Coffee stains on the front sheet Every state line I replayed How you said you felt unsafe [Pre-Chorus] Highway humming Heart on high Counting exits Asking why You had to live that breaking part While I rehearsed “you’re safe” in the dark [Chorus] Forty hours to forever I was choosing you each mile Every sunrise in the rearview Was another chance to smile Turned your pain into a promise Pulled you out of that old mess From “are you okay?” to “you’re my princess” Now it’s ours Yeah Forever’s ours [Verse 2] You were waiting by a torn door Bag packed Eyes on the cold floor One small wave Then you ran fast Like the future finally came back I took your hand Said “You’re with me now” You looked up like you could breathe out Threw your past in the back with the spare tire Drove away from every liar [Pre-Chorus] Radio low Your voice small Spilling names Telling it all I just listened Knuckles white Till your laughter cut the night [Chorus] Forty hours to forever I was choosing you each mile Every sunrise in the rearview Was another chance to smile Turned your pain into a promise Pulled you out of that old mess From “are you okay?” to “you’re my princess” Now it’s ours Yeah Forever’s ours [Bridge] [low vocal register] Wrong story in the rearview Right one in the front seat You leaned on my shoulder Said “Guess I’m finally free” I kissed your hand at a red light Said “I’d drive it all again” Every second of the long ride Just to call you more than friend [Chorus] [Chorus]
Tags
folk, Anthemic pop-rock ballad with male vocals; warm electric guitars and steady drums in the verses, big open chords and stacked gang-style “oh-oh”s in the chorus. Gradual build from intimate, almost spoken confessional to a full-throated hook. Subtle piano doubles the vocal on key lines; bridge drops to half-time with reverb-soaked guitar swells before a final lift into the last chorus.
