Lyrics

[Dedication Intro - Spoken]
(This one’s for you, Jeff…)
(Eighteen years… and you’re still my greatest love story)
(Through every fight, every silence… I still believe in us)

[Intro - Whispered Vocals & Guitar Riffs]

Nineteen ninety-nine…
I saw forever in your eyes
Before the first kiss… before the first lie

[Verse 1]

You calmed my storms with a single touch
I burned too bright, but you never asked too much
Peabody nights under cigarette skies
I told Adrienne I’d marry you — no reasons, no lies

[Pre-Chorus]

You pull away, I chase you down
You bury your heart, I turn it around
Opposites in motion, hearts on fire
I’m still holding on to our desire

[Chorus]

We’re faded hearts, still burning bright
Even when we’re broken, you’re my light
I just need to feel your hands in mine
You’re the only home I’ve ever tried to find

[Verse 2]

You hate the fights, I hate your walls
You disappear, and I take the fall
I’m sorry for the nights I crossed that line
But don’t you see, baby? I was just tryin’ to feel alive

[Bridge - Haunting Vocals & Guitar Solo]

If you’re gonna leave, then leave me scarred
If you’re gonna stay, then tear me apart
Love ain’t perfect, but it’s worth the fight
I need to hear you say you’re still on my side

[Chorus - Final Build with Backing Vocals]

We’re faded hearts, still burning bright
Even when we’re broken, you’re my light
I just need to feel your hands in mine
You’re the only home I’ve ever tried to find

[Outro - Soft & Raw with Fading Guitar]

We could climb this mountain, step by step
With every sunrise… you’re still my Jeff
Under the North Star, we’ll find our way
Through every fight… through every gray
