Journey’s End

[Verse 1]
The last time I took this ride
We made great plans, we felt alive
Heading south from countryside
Into a city of open dreams
How our young hearts laughed and cried
How we stood strong, side by side
Never thought we'd say goodbye
To anything but youth

[Verse 2]
I remember everything
Fighting darkness, chasing rain
I guess that was yesterday
It feels so long ago
Whispered songs on radio
Take me back to what I know
It all seemed so beautiful to me
The journey's end is hеre

[Verse 3]
Faces line thеse old town roads
Soft guitars, piano notes
Linger in the air like ghosts
With nothing left to say
Shadowed seasons brought you home
Brighter days have come and gone
Someone, somewhere called you on
We could not follow you

[Verse 4]
I think I spoke the fateful line
That things don't leave or break or die
We'll raise your body to the sky
Before we lay it down
Now it seems the only path
Is the one we traveled fast
Destinations cut like glass into our history
The journey's end is here

[Bridge]
I see an unclosed door
Where duty used to stand
I'm going south once more
To make good on those plans

[Verse 5]
Every station fades from view
Like the years bestowed on you
But years can be like diamonds too
They sparkle and they shine
So when at last we meet again
I'll shake your hand, I'll call you friend
Sometimes one journey has to end
To let another start
