[Intro]
Soft rain on cracked pavement, footsteps slow
A swing sighs where the sun used to glow
[Verse 1]
We rode our bikes down the chalkboard road
Where laughter echoed off old storefronts
The corner store smelled like pennies and rain
Now glass towers blink where we learned our names
[Pre-Chorus]
I map the streets with a childhood map
Cracked corners where our stories capsized
[Chorus]
Where the corner cafe brewed my crayons and dreams
It’s gone, replaced by chrome and neon gleams
I reach for a memory that won’t come true
Gently I whisper, some things outgrew
[Verse 2]
The old park bench wears a different crown
The graffiti whispers of another town
Slide of a door that never quite feels the same
I chase the old laughter through the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my pockets full of faded light
Trying to hold what daylight steals at night
[Chorus]
Where the corner cafe brewed my crayons and dreams
It’s gone, replaced by chrome and neon gleams
I reach for a memory that won’t come true
Gently I whisper, some things outgrew
[Bridge]
If memory could bend the skyline back to blue
I’d fold the years and gift them back to you
[Chorus]
Where the corner cafe brewed my crayons and dreams
It’s gone, replaced by chrome and neon gleams
I reach for a memory that won’t come true
Gently I whisper, some things outgrew
[Outro]
So I walk the rain and let the past be light
A doorway opens, then fades into night
