Faded Polaroids

I was just a kid in a worn-out shirt
Chasing dreams down a sunny street
Mom said: Just be you, let the colors blur
With scraped-up knees and bare feet

Late nights on the roof, watching stars align
Talking 'bout our futures over sips of lime
Every laugh and tear, they built my frame
Holding tight to names I'll never change

Faded polaroids, memories in my mind
Learning to accept, leaving fears behind
Growing up so slow, but I'm finding my way
With hope in my heart, I'm here to stay

Remember first crushes in the schoolyard sun
Whispers in the hall, oh, what a thrill
Promises we made, oh, we were young
Time slips away, but the laughter's real

Bonfire nights, we carved our names
In the hearts of the flames, nothing feels the same
Chasing down horizons, futures wide and bright
I'm devoted to this journey, day and night

And as the seasons change
I'll hold on tight
Every step I take
Is a step toward light
With every scar, I learn to shine
In the chapters of my life, I'll be just fine

Faded polaroids, memories in my mind
Learning to accept, leaving fears behind
Growing up so slow, but I'm finding my way
With hope in my heart, I'm here to stay

So here's to the dreams, the paths we choose
To every moment lost, and all the ones we lose
With laughter and love, I'll never feel alone
In this story of us, I've finally grown

Faded polaroids, memories in my mind
Learning to accept, leaving fears behind
Growing up so slow, but I'm finding my way
With hope in my heart, I'm here to stay

So here's to the dreams, the paths we choose
To every moment lost, and all the ones we lose
With laughter and love, I'll never feel alone
In this story of us, I've finally grown
