I Won't Run (From Love)

VERSE 1
Flip a coin, flip a car
I don’t care where we are
The picture and the sound won’t synch
And some things time can’t fix
I’m built for nights like this
Don’t mean I’m proud of it
And the rose in my teeth
Was a pin so it seems
You pull it and brace to blast
Get ready for the bang and flash
Alright just one last dance
make it fast

Prechorus
I know
How the tide pulls deep
Eyes open
But the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen
In the driver’s seat
Lights and motion
But they’re lost on me.

VERSE 2
There’s a dozen selves inside you
Tryna be the one to run the dials
And some aren’t even on your side
When the hunger comes and finds you,
only code it knows is rote survival
you’ll do the rest in your spare time
Tryna get that universal feeling
in an invite-only private room
guess the ring came off in the glove
Looks like you pawned the silver lining
Around the cloud that follows you
Guess that good old push came to shove

Prechorus
I know
How the tide pulls deep
Eyes open
But the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen
In the driver’s seat
Lights and motion
But they’re lost on me.

HOOK 1
Out in the water
You can’t touch bottom
It pulls you farther
Life on land forgotten

Verse 3
-4 bar instrumental-
The world rolls over
I’m pulled under
Stone cold sober,
But I feel nothing.

Bridge
I’m just a girl
In the body of a boy
In the belly of a whale
You can’t be sure
This far from shore
Which winds prevail

Prechorus
I know
How the tide pulls deep
Eyes open
But the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen
In the driver’s seat
Lights and motion
But they’re lost on me.

HOOK 2 (double)

OUTRO
Flip a coin, flip a car
I don’t care where we are

Title: The Stars Forgot Our Name

[Verse 1]
I carved a song in the side of the wind,
With hands that were broken, but still believed in.
The night held my breath like a prayer unsaid,
While hope stitched its light to the thread of the dead.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar was a page, every tear was a rhyme,
I was born from the silence between space and time.

[Chorus]
And if the stars forgot our name,
We’d still rise through ash and flame.
Worn like myths in skin and bone,
We are the echo that time disowns.
Sing it loud though none remain—
Love is real, and that’s our name.

[Verse 2]
We danced in the ruins of what never was,
Chasing the ghosts of a half-built cause.
But in every ruin, a root still grows,
And the soul finds shelter where the wild wind blows.

[Bridge]
Tell the oceans we remembered,
Tell the sky we knew her face,
Tell the void we left behind
A trace of grace.

[Final Chorus]
If the stars forgot our name,
Let our hearts still light the flame.
We are not dust, we are the spark—
The beating drum in endless dark.
Let the silence speak our claim:
We lived. We burned. We loved.
That is our name.
