Mirage

歌詞

Golden light across the highway Summer breathing through the glass You were standing by the station Like a moment meant to last My name trembling on your lips Like you’d practiced it before And suddenly the quiet city Didn’t feel quiet anymore You wore sunlight on your shoulders Like the sky had chosen sides And every careless little smile Felt like nowhere left to hide Coffee stains and cheap white sneakers Laughing like we had no plan You said life is better messy I said maybe Yes, it can Everybody calls it timing Like love waits politely in line But I think it crashes through you Like a song at the perfect time Maybe fate is just a side street You were never meant to miss Maybe every almost-heartbreak Led me quietly to this I was learning how to leave things You were teaching how to stay And somewhere in the middle I forgot to be afraid Mirage You appeared where I was empty Like the rain on desert roads Like a yes I didn’t know Mirage Every shadow turned to color Every silence found a sound Ever since you came around Rooftop air and distant sirens Your hand brushing over mine You said nothing But the silence Felt more honest than a line We talked about impossible things Like leaving towns and changing names Like the people we could be If we stopped playing safe with flames I told you dreams I kept hidden Under ordinary days And you listened like they mattered Like you saw right through the haze If tomorrow steals the summer If the blue begins to fade I will keep this little universe The two of us have made Because some people are like weather They arrive and rewrite you And I think my favorite version Of myself began with you Mirage! You were never just illusion You were proof that even broken Things can still become a movement Mirage! Even if the night gets heavier I would choose this wild uncertainty Over almost, over never Golden light leaves the highway But your warmth is still alive Maybe love looks less like magic And more like staying When it’s time
