Lyrics
I remember the quiet… Before it learned my name. Street’s holding its breath, curb soaked black Neon bent in the puddles like it can’t look back Keys still warm, engine humming low I sit in the car where the past won’t go Bills in the glove box, fear in my chest Hope folded thin like a note I never sent I ain’t running, I just ain’t ready Some nights survive you more than they steady I felt it coming before it came Like pressure talking through the rain This was before the sirens Before the truth got loud Before the lights behind me Taught me how to bow I was still breathing, still pretending I had time to choose my ground Yeah this was before the sirens Before the cracks made sound Foot on the brake but my heart still racing Every mirror showing who I’m chasing Said I’m fine, but my voice went thin Like lies don’t echo when you trap ‘em in I learned quick what silence costs How you pay in sleep when you stall too long Rain don’t judge, it just stays Finds every cut you tried to tape If I’d known how sharp that turn would feel I might’ve still took it… Just slower. This was before the sirens (hold on) Before the truth got loud (don’t run) Before the lights behind me Taught me how to bow I was still breathing, still pretending I could outrun the sound Yeah this was before the sirens Before the cracks broke out Rain kept falling Like it knew where to land.
