[Intro]Rock ballad, slow build, 80 BPM, powerful male vocal with emotional delivery, acoustic guitar intro building to electric guitar, drums enter in chorus, anthemic feel, tape saturation,

(Distorted guitar, slow drum beat)

The streets all look the same

But something’s changed inside

Verse 1

I parked my car where the old oak tree used to stand

Walked past the corner store, the cracks in the pavement planned

I called out names that echo in the summer air

But silence is the only answer waiting there

The lights are on in houses where we used to play

But the laughter that I knew has slowly slipped away

Pre-Chorus

I let the years roll by, I let the miles divide

Now every memory is a stone I cannot hide

Chorus

Oh, I should have held you closer, should have never let you go

The road I took was long, but the price was all I know
