echoes

Sax in the background, life playin’ the keys, Desert nights, under skies with a warm breeze. 23, Arizona soul, walkin’ the sands, Buildin’ castles in my mind with my own two hands. Cactus shadows stretch, paintin’ stories in the dirt, Scars on my soul, but they’re lessons, not hurt. Late-night drives, moonlight kissin’ the glass, Thinkin’ ’bout the future while I’m learnin’ from the past. Trumpets blow smooth like the calm in my veins, Life’s a jazz solo, improvise through the pain. Chillin’ in the rhythm, I’m the bassline king, Every note a power move, let the harmony sing. Coffee shops hum, vinyl cracks in the air, Catch a vibe in the moment, lose the weight of despair. Not everything’s perfect, and I don’t claim to be, But I’m a desert bird, learnin’ how to fly free. Power’s in the stillness, the beauty of the now, Breathe deep, exhale, let it show me how. Life’s a jam session, gotta play it my way, Brush the dirt off my kicks, keep it cool like Miles’ fade. Trumpets blow smooth like the calm in my veins, Life’s a jazz solo, improvise through the pain. Chillin’ in the rhythm, I’m the bassline king, Every note a power move, let the harmony sing. Breathe in the sunlight, feel it melt the weight, Every dark night ends, watch me reshape my fate. Horn breaks and the world fades out for a sec, All that’s left is my mind, and I show it respect. Sax lingers, like a story that ain’t done, Desert dreams carry me till I’m one with the sun. Power ain’t loud, it’s a quiet refrain, Arizona jazz, flowin’ smooth in my veins.

[Verse] Under streetlights I saw you breathe In a city where dreams often leave Your eyes told tales of pain and grace Lights reflecting off your face [Verse 2] Midnight whispers echo through the air Silent promises we wouldn’t dare Stumbling down life’s endless road Together in a heavy-laden code [Chorus] Oh the stars align when our souls collide In the spaces where doubts can’t hide Feel the rhythm in each heartbeat’s call In this quiet night we rise and fall [Bridge] Lost in the shadows our worries we confide Finding solace where secrets reside Hands entwined the world fades away Midnight whispers make shadows sway [Verse 3] Moonbeams dancing on your skin so soft Whispered lullabies that we spun aloft Silent oaths spoken in a troubled mind In the darkness love’s light we find [Chorus] Oh the stars align when our souls collide In the spaces where doubts can’t hide Feel the rhythm in each heartbeat’s call In this quiet night we rise and fall

[Verse] Woke up with a shattered heart A million pieces fell apart Promises were all in vain Left me standing in the rain [Verse 2] Tears fallin' like a summer storm Memories that kept me warm Now they're just a ghostly trace Haunting me in empty space [Chorus] Broken dreams they never mend Lost in moments we pretend Every word a hollow sound In this silence I am drowned [Verse 3] Walkin' down this lonely road Carryin' an unseen load Hopes that once were bright and clear Fadin’ like a dying year [Bridge] Shadows stretchin' on the wall Hear the echoes of the fall Can't escape this grip of gloom Locked inside this vacant room [Chorus] Broken dreams they never mend Lost in moments we pretend Every word a hollow sound In this silence I am drowned

Verse 1: Tere bina dil hai ek veeran sheher, Har mod pe yaadon ka chhaya hai peher. Teri hasi ki roshni ab bujh gayi, Khud se bhi baatein ab adhuri si lag rahi. Chorus: Tere bina, khwab bhi adhoore hain, Tere bina, raat bhi tanha lagti hai. Tere bina, saansein bhi bhaari hain, Tere bina, duniya ek khali kitaab si hai. Verse 2: Dil ke kone mein ek dukh ka aangan, Teri yaadon ka chhaya hai saawan. Har geet jo likha tha tere liye, Ab toh woh sirf aansuon mein behta hai. Chorus: Tere bina, khwab bhi adhoore hain, Tere bina, raat bhi tanha lagti hai. Tere bina, saansein bhi bhaari hain, Tere bina, duniya ek khali kitaab si hai. Bridge: Kya tu bhi yaadon ke saaye mein rehti hai? Kya tu bhi tanha raaton ko jagti hai? Ya main hi ek be-sahaara safar hoon, Tere bina, sirf dukh ka shahar hoon. Outro: Tere bina, dil sunapan se bhara, Tere bina, khud ka bhi sahaara nahi. Tere bina, raat bhi tanha lagti hai, Tere bina, bas ek khaali kitaab si hai.

[VERSE 1, GIRL ONLY] Tell me, love, do you ever dream? Do you see us by the quiet stream? Even when the seasons fade, Even when my hair turns gray? Tell me, love, will you stay with me? Past the dawn and the endless sea? And if the stars forget my name, Will you carve it deep so it stays the same? [CHORUS, DUET] Hold my hand, don’t let go Through the years, through the snow If time should pull me far from you Will you hold my heart, like I hold you? [INSTRUMENTAL] [VERSE 2, GUY ONLY] You ask me, love, do I ever dream? Only of you, by the quiet stream. Even when the days grow cold, Even when our hands grow old.
