Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) We rolled out at dawn with nothing to prove Left behind everything we couldn’t move Sunlight kissed your faded tattoos And for a moment, I swore we couldn't lose You laughed like you hadn’t in years Told me silence used to sound like fear But now it’s wind through a cracked car door Freedom etched in miles, nothing more (Chorus) There’s dust on the dashboard, time in our rearview I wish I could slow down when I look at you This road’s been kind, but it won’t stay Every sunset’s just one slip away We were never built to last But we burned like film in a camera flash Dust on the dashboard, hearts running late Chasing the summer that wouldn’t wait (Verse 2) We counted stars from a truck bed prayer Told the sky our secrets like it would care You said, “Maybe this is all we get— Some songs, some nights, and no regrets.” But when the engine sighed beneath our feet I felt the cracks in every heartbeat Like maybe joy was just borrowed breath And love, a race against what's left (Bridge) If we had more gas or one more July Would we still be us, or just the goodbye? Your hand on mine, the windows down We never needed a destination town (Final Chorus) There’s dust on the dashboard and fire in our lungs We're singin’ truths at the top of our tongues Every turn is a line in a song And the silence says we won’t be long So let’s drive like we’re breaking fate Write our names in the interstates Dust on the dashboard, hearts out of state Loving the summer that wouldn’t wait
