Run to the Ridge

[Verse]
I packed my bags on a Thursday night,
Left that house where we’d scream and fight.
Followed the stars to the mountain's door,
Where the past couldn’t haunt me anymore.
[Verse 2]
I met him there with salt in his hair,
A heart so kind, like the mountain air.
He laughed when I said I couldn’t stay too long,
But his quiet eyes told me I might be wrong.
[Chorus]
On the ridge where the pine trees grow,
Found a love I thought I'd never know.
He’s ten years older, but his soul runs true,
And he’s teaching me love like the mountains do.
[Verse 3]
With every sunrise, we’d sit and talk,
While the cold creek whispered beneath the rock.
The scars I carried began to fade,
As his steady hands healed the life I’d frayed.
[Bridge]
There’s peace I’ve found in the sound of the leaves,
A life rebuilt where my heart can breathe.
It wasn’t just him, it was the mountain’s call,
That gave me back everything I’d lost it all.
[Chorus]
On the ridge where the pine trees grow,
Found a love I thought I'd never know.
He’s ten years older, but his soul runs true,
And he’s teaching me love like the mountains do.
