In the shadow of the city lights, we danced like we were free But the cracks in the pavement whispered secrets to me With a cigarette kiss and a stolen glance, we were chasing dreams But the night grew heavy with the weight of silent screams We were echoes in the dark, fading memories A love that burned too bright like a tragic symphony We were written in the stars, but lost in destiny Now we're just echoes, echoes of you and me You were my California sunset, golden and divine But the highway stretched too long, and we ran out of time Your promises were velvet, soft against my skin But the dawn revealed the truth, where love begins to thin We were echoes in the dark, fading memories A love that burned too bright like a tragic symphony We were written in the stars, but lost in destiny Now we're just echoes, echoes of you and me In the rearview mirror, I see the ghost of what we were Driving through the night, every mile's a blur The radio's playing our song, a bittersweet refrain But the melody's a haunting, a reminder of the pain We were echoes in the dark, fading memories A love that burned too bright like a tragic symphony We were written in the stars, but lost in destiny Now we're just echoes, echoes of you and me In the silence that follows, I hear your voice so clear But it's just the wind whispering what I fear We were echoes, echoes, now we're just echoes Of a love we couldn't keep, in a world that wouldn't let us growmore
