Golden-lit and heaven-made, oh yeah,

Eyes like sunrise, voice like rain.

Dripping gold and reckless-eyed

Shared dreams burned with words you lied

Oh, I swore I saw the stars in you,

But they were just reflections cold—

A flicker caught in restless winds,

A story fading, left untold…

Yeah, yeah, yeah… dust on the highway mile,

Lost in the shine, fooled by the smile.

Should’ve stayed back, watched from afar,

Some things look better as distant stars.

Wrote my name in the restless winds, oh yeah,

Laughed as it vanished into the night.

You were a spark in the painted sky,

But up close, you never shined that bright.

Oh, I swore I saw the sun in you,

But it was just the evening haze—

Chasing light down winding roads,

Losing myself in the golden days…

Yeah, yeah, yeah… dust on the highway mile,

Lost in the shine, fooled by the smile.

Should’ve stayed back, watched from afar,

Some things look better as distant stars.

Now I walk where the wildflowers grow,

No more running, now I know

I was chasing something that wouldn’t stay,

Now I rise with the break of day—

And I don’t need your light to shine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah… I walk my own line,

I don’t need your sun to shine.

Now I stand where the long roads bend,

No looking back, no heart to mend.

Oh yeah… fading light,

Should’ve left you in the painted sky…
