We grew up together
playing on the streets
We've seen something terrible
We've seen something sweet
You're always there for me
A home a friend a family
It's sad when we have to go
We grew apart but I hope you know

refrain: That I won't trade your welcoming arms for anything
And the dreams we made
When we couldn't sleep

Chorus: Everything has an ending
But your memories are worth remembering
Our youthful days will be a song
We'll always sing,
Goodbye to everyone I know
I swear these days are gonna go
I've seen it in the sky
In Mia's eyes, I can't deny

That I miss all the fun we had
We hang out and ran so fast
Till responsibilities,
Took us by the hand,
I'm sorry if I couldn't stay
But our story will remain

Refrain: I won't trade your welcoming arms for anything
And the dreams we made
When we couldn't sleep

Chorus: Everything has an ending
But your memories are worth remembering
Our youthful days will be a song
We'll always sing,
Goodbye to everyone I know
I swear these days are gonna go
I've seen it in the sky
In Mia's eyes, I can't deny

Bridge: There's no place I'd rather be
But life goes on

Chorus: Everything has an ending
But your memories are worth remembering
Our youthful days will be a song
We'll always sing,
Goodbye to everyone I know
I swear these days are gonna go
I've seen it in the sky
In Mia's eyes, I can't deny
You're the place that gave smiles to my life

A song for Mia

I would be lying if I said that I don't miss you,
I find myself lost gazing at the memories we left
I wrote this because I'm at the place where we first met
My hand used to be warm now it's colder than regrets,
It's peaceful now that I am without you,
But everyday I wake, loneliness fill the room

Just so you know, you were the best thing that I ever had,
But I know we can never go back to the past
So here I write a song wishing you the best

Chorus:
I hope you're living now in Paris,
Chasing dreams you swore you'd cherish.
Drinking wine on rooftops high,
Underneath a silver sky.
Don't mind me I will be okay 
Just lost in nights that fade to gray
I trace your name on a window pane
I guess in my heart it's you again


Do you remember all the times you pushed me away?
Got tired of all the shit coz it gets heavy everyday,
not gonna lie, I miss your voice when we used to talk
I'd die just to hear you angry at me once again.


Just so you know, you were the best thing that I ever had,
But I know we can never go back to the past
So here I write a song wishing you the best

Chorus:
I hope you're living now in Paris,
Chasing dreams you swore you'd cherish.
Drinking wine on rooftops high,
Underneath a silver sky.
Don't mind me I will be okay 
Just lost in nights that fade to gray
I trace your name on a window pane
I guess in my heart it's you again

I wish I could hear your voice, whispering secrets of the stars,
This phantom limb a constant plight.
I miss your chaos, the laughter and tears
the constellation of memories, lost to passing years

Chorus:
I hope you're living now in Paris,
Chasing dreams you swore you'd cherish.
Drinking wine on rooftops high,
Underneath a silver sky.
Don't mind me I will be okay 
Just lost in nights that fade to gray
I trace your name on a window pane
I guess in my heart it's you again.

Paris

I know you're holding on to me
But can you feel the wave
It's washing me away
You know, you're the best damn thing
That ever happened to me
I wish you never walked away

Cause the season has started changing
Winter blew cold on your shoulders
I tried to keep these four walls warm
But you seemed so far

Baby can't you see
I've been burning in this heaven
Everytime you push away
I hold the walls that was shaken
I'm on my last leg,
Can you turn it down a notch
Its just Like Taylor said "did I deserve all the hell you gave me?"
Is it fair that now we're just a memory
(Woah oh woah oh) I can't believe we're just a memory

I promised to be strong for you
Pillars built on love letters
And how we feel
You know it's always you, that can turn this hell to heaven
But then you walked away

On my worst day the sparks started leaving
I hate myself for crashing down
I could've caught on to you babe
But you seemed so far

Baby can't you see
I've been burning in this heaven
Everytime you push away
I hold the walls that was shaken
I'm on my last leg,
Can you turn it down a notch
It's just Like Taylor said
 "did I deserve all the hell you gave me?"
Is it fair that now we're just a memory

(Woah oh woah oh) We turned to just a memory 

I know you saw me drowning
The day you turned your back
I wanna stop you from leaving
But the weight is pulling me under

Baby can't you see
I've been burning in this heaven
Everytime you push away
I hold the walls that was shaken
I'm on my last leg,
Can you turn it down a notch
It's just Like Taylor said "did I deserve all the hell you gave me?"
Is it fair that now we're just a memory
Woah oh woah oh I can't believe we're just a memory
Woah oh Woah oh we turned to just a memory

Memory

[Verse 1]
I still remember when we first crossed paths
You, in your denim jacket, looking like you had a past
Your eyes stayed distant, but I couldn’t look away
I tried to find a way to make you stay

You love books and all those quiet nights
Lost in pages, finding pieces of your mind
We’d talk for hours, about everything and nothing
And I’d hang on every word, as if it meant something

[Refrain]
It started with your playlist that you sent to me
A collection of songs, but it felt like destiny

[Chorus]
We held hands in August, and I thought the world would stop
Just you and me, no words, no need to talk
Your laugh felt like freedom, and I burned like the sun
Two hearts racing, lost in what we'd become
And in that moment, I knew you were the one

[Verse 2]
You’d tell me about the stars, how they never lie
How they always know when we’re lost or when we fly
You spoke like a poet, your words so deep
Like every line you wrote, I wanted to keep

We’d stay up, talking ‘bout things we could never change
You’d laugh at the universe, how wild and strange
But in those moments, I felt the pull of your truth
And I felt like I’d known you my whole youth

[Refrain – repeat]
It started with your playlist that you sent to me
A collection of songs, but it felt like destiny

[Chorus]
We held hands in August, and I thought the world would stop
Just you and me, no words, no need to talk
Your laugh felt like freedom, and I burned like the sun
Two hearts racing, lost in what we'd become
And in that moment, I knew you were the one

[Bridge]
Every time I see a star that shines too bright
I remember those nights with you in the light
The way we stayed up ‘til the world disappeared
And how being with you made everything clear

[Final Chorus]
We held hands in August, and I thought the world would stop
Just you and me, no words, no need to talk
Your laugh felt like freedom, and I burned like the sun
Two hearts racing, lost in what we'd become
And in that moment, I knew you were the one

[Outro – gentle, nostalgic]
Yeah, it started with your playlist...
And I still play it when I miss you like this

Hey august

From down here
I can see the horizon of lights
Burning through the sky

We can never really see the future
Hand in hand together
Knowing that you live in the past

Like a broken frame I carry
Inked in my skin and memory
Hope we could have that dance

And everytime I close my eyes
I see you and your smiles

From down here
I can see the horizon of lights
Burning through the sky
Like a letter tinged in the clouds
Holding you tight
All I can do is dream of you tonight.

All the plans we had tomorrow
cut short by the time we borrowed
As I whisper in the wind

Do I really have to just reminisce
The moments you saved me from this
Life that pushed me back

Why do you have to go this way
I wish with all my heart you'd stay

From down here
I can see the horizon of lights
Burning through the sky
Like a letter tinged in the clouds
Holding you tight
All I can do is dream of you tonight

I know you will always guide me
Even in my agony
But I wish you were here

It's better to feel your warmth than replay that memory Over and over again

From down here
I can see the horizon of lights
Burning through the sky
Like a letter tinged in the clouds
Holding you tight
All I can do is dream of you 

From down here
I can see the horizon of lights
Burning through the sky
Like a letter tinged in the clouds
Holding you tight
All I can do is dream of you tonight

Lanterns acoustic (another version)


[Verse 1]
Summer heat in long sleeves, black from head to toe
Headphones blasting out the truth we used to know
Gigs with the crew, shouting lyrics like a prayer
Crashing in the crowd like we didn't have a care

[Pre-Chorus]
Skateboards in the park before the sun went down
Police sirens chasing, but we owned this town

[Chorus]
Back in '07, we were loud, we were free
Eyeliner dreams and ripped-up skinny jeans
On Myx and MTV, our anthems screaming loud
We were lost and found in every reckless town
Back in '07, we were living like a flame
Now the faces fade, but I still feel the same

[Verse 2]
House parties shaking walls, singing to the floor
Too much to drink, too much to feel, but always asking more
Girls with long black hair, piercings shining bright
We shared our fears and laughs beneath the neon light

[Pre-Chorus]
Band practice in garages 'til the neighbors scream
But we were chasing heartbeats, chasing every dream

[Chorus]
Back in '07, we were loud, we were free
Eyeliner dreams and ripped-up skinny jeans
On Myx and MTV, our anthems screaming loud
We were lost and found in every reckless town
Back in '07, we were living like a flame
Now the faces fade, but I still feel the same

[Bridge]
Do you remember? The freedom in our eyes
No maps, no plans, just stars and city lights
We bled our youth on every card we played
And though you're gone, those nights, they never fade

[Final Chorus]
Back in '07, we were loud, we were wild
Forever just a song, forever just a child
On Myx and MTV, our voices filled the air
Now it's just me, but I still feel you there
Back in '07, we were more than a name
Now the world has changed, but I'm still the same

[Outro]
Yeah, those were the days…
Back in '07, we burned like flames.


Back in '07

I'm putting myself first before anyone
Cause I'm tired of depending 
my happiness in someone else's smile
There is a highroad I've taken, where the streetlights are broken
And the buildings are abandoned
And the air I breathe is almost gone

Life is never fair

Listening to my favorite songs
I feel free to scream my lungs out
Not in a million years I thought I 
I'd find the reason to grow old
I'll make do with what I have
There's never a warning sign
Past the line of where I'm at
None of it matters now cause
I found the reason to grow old

I know I'm not perfect like what you pictured on your mind
I never really wanted to be, 
what you wanted me to be
There's a dream I kept chasing
A validation left un spoken
And picture frames now broken
But I smile when I wrote this song

I know life's unfair 

Listening to my favorite songs
I feel free to scream my lungs out
Not in a million years I thought I 
I'd find the reason to grow old
I'll make do with what I have
There's never a warning sign
Past the line of where I'm at
None of it matters now cause
I found the reason to grow old

Don't ever question my will to admit
there is not a single thing that I regret,
letting go of all the poison, 
killing me for all kinds of reasons
I'll take my pride and go

Listening to our favorite songs
We feel free to scream our lungs out
Not in a million years we thought we'd 
We found the reason to grow old

Listening to my favorite songs
I feel free to scream my lungs out
Not in a million years I thought I 
I'd find the reason to grow old
I'll make do with what I have
There's never a warning sign
Past the line of where I'm at
None of it matters now cause
I found the reason to grow old

La la la la la-la
I found my reason to hold on
La la la la la-la
I found my reason to go on
La la la la la-la
This is my reason to grow old

Reason

[Verse 1]
She wore her heart like a badge on her sleeve
Dreamin’ of someone who’d never just leave
He had a smile like a cigarette flame
Burns you quick but he swears he’ll change

[Pre-Chorus]
She thought he meant every word he said
But when temptation called he then forgets

[Chorus]
He holds her close, but drifts too far
Swears she’s his light, but chases dark
He loves her deep, but not enough
To fight the pull of broken trust
He means it every time he says her name
But still forgets it when he plays the game
She thinks he’s hers, and maybe he is
But not in all the ways she wished

[Verse 2]
She played his song on repeat all week
He played her love like it came too cheap
She stayed up waiting on midnight texts
He was out making out with his next

[Pre-Chorus]
She thought he meant every word he said
But when temptation called he then forgets

[Chorus]
He holds her close, but drifts too far
Swears she’s his light, but chases dark
He loves her deep, but not enough
To fight the pull of broken trust
He means it every time he says her name
But still forgets it when he plays the game
She thinks he’s hers, and maybe he is
But not in all the ways she wished

[Bridge]
Now she’s got walls where trust used to be
And he’s still out there playing make-believe
She learned the hard way that words can cut
And not every “I love you” means that much

[Final Chorus]
He holds her close, but drifts too far
Swears she’s his light, but chases dark
He loves her deep, but not enough
To fight the pull of broken trust
He means it every time he says her name
But still forgets it when he plays the game
She thinks he’s hers, and maybe he is
But not in all the ways she wished

[Outro]
How long can she forgive 

Memory

She Will Fall
