[Verse 1]
You were etched in the yellow lines
Beneath my feet and between the pines
Driving was all a blur
And you were burned in my memory
You were my anxiety
I couldn't see you but there you were
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tiptoed down the stairs
And stared into the fire
That burned bright in the morning air
But flickered out when it grew tired
And I thought
[Chorus]
Why didn't I kiss you back in North Carolina
When all the stars were aligned
Seems like I'm missing every minute I sit here
Without a way to rewind
[Verse 2]
You were buried in the fog
A ghost haunting the halls
Suffocating me
And you were dancing in the wind
The moon lit up your skin
But your silhouette was all I could see
[Pre-Chorus]
I drank the midnight air
And stepped out of a daydream
There's a brighter world out there
But I'm still contemplating
Why
[Chorus]
Why didn't I kiss you back in North Carolina
When all the stars were aligned
Seems like I'm missing every minute I sit here
Without a way to rewind
[Bridge]
You know I keep trying to craft a fairy tale dream
But what good are stories that aren't what they seem
[Chorus]
Why didn't I kiss you back in North Carolina
When all the stars were aligned
Seems like I'm missing every minute I sit here
Without a way to rewind
[Chorus 2]
Why didn't I kiss you back in North Carolina
When all the stars were alive
Seems every time I try to turn back the clock hands
I get more paralyzed
[Outro]
I'm lost somewhere out there
Hoping hopelessly I'll find you
In the pristine mountain air
Someday I'll be lost beside you
