Echoes in the Neon Void

Lyrics

I’ve peeked through portals of what could’ve been, Browsed all the might-haves again and again. I wandered the aisles of elsewhere and glare— Avoided the lives where you’re not there. I chased a mirage that promised relief; But “perfect” is a filter designed to deceive. I’ll keep my original life—detours and falls. I’d rather feel everything than nothing at all. The point isn’t finding some flawless new land, It’s learning the dance where you already stand. The grass isn’t greener on some distant hill. It’s greener right here, if you water it well. I’ve stood by the mountains, the beaches, the bays, Through club-lit nights and wild, windy days. I’ve met gilded strangers with bright tales to say— None come close to the friends I’ve met along my way. Now, with a grateful and wide-open heart, I’ll honor the middle as much as the start. I’ll trust what unfolds and the grace it lends, And hold close, the magic of family and friends. So I’ll say it quite simply, honest and true: The best kind of life is the one with you. Whatever the place, the path, or the street, Your place in my story I’ll never delete. As the credits roll in this video-store reverie, I know who I am; you helped me see. You brought a spark, you changed the hue— My world shines brighter because of you.
