Davis Smith - North Carolina Lyrics

You were etched in the yellow lines
Beneath my feet and between the pines
Driving was all a blur

And you were burned in my memory
You were my anxiety
I couldn't see you, but there you were

And I tiptoed down the stairs
And stared into the fire
That burned bright in the morning air
But flickered out when it grew tired

And I thought

Why didn't I kiss you back in North Carolina
When all the stars were aligned
Seems like I'm missing every minute I sit here
Without a way to rewind

You were buried in the fog
A ghost haunting the halls
Suffocating me

And you were dancing in the wind
The moon lit up your skin but
Your silhouette was all I could see

I drank the midnight air
And stepped out of a daydream
There's a brighter world out there
But I'm still contemplating why

Why didn't I kiss you back in North Carolina
When all the stars were aligned
Seems like I'm missing every minute I sit here
Without a way to rewind

You know I keep trying to craft
A fairy tale dream
But what good are stories
That aren't what they seem

Why didn't I kiss you back in North Carolina
When all the stars were aligned
Seems like I'm missing every minute I sit here
Without a way to rewind

Why didn't I kiss you back in North Carolina
When all the stars were alive
Seems every time I try to turn back the clock hands
I get more paralyzed

I'm lost somewhere out there
Hoping hopelessly I'll find you
In the pristine mountain air
Someday I'll be lost beside you
