It took me years just to find you there
Through broken promises and love's despair
When you arrived, the world made sense
Like life rebuilt its own defense
Your laugh was home, your touch was ground
You calmed the wars I carried around
I told myself I'd learned to live
But fate was writing what it wouldn't forgive
It was just another ordinary night
I was waiting for your headlights
Never knowing the sky was falling
Before I could read the signs
And the dream stopped on the highway
At a light that never turned green
My future froze in a moment
Where forever should have been
You were driving to bring me life
And I lost them both at once
My only dream interrupted
Now it echoes in the dust
They said he was a broken man
Drunk, shattered, no steady hand
He had just buried his own family
And crossed our path in tragedy
I tried to hate the world that night
Tried to blame the stars for the fight
But nothing brings you back to me
Nothing rewrites destiny
Then they told me about the surprise
You were carrying in your heart
Another heartbeat growing quietly
Right before it all fell apart
And the dream stopped on the highway
At a light that never turned green
My future froze in a moment
Where forever should have been
You were driving to bring me life
And I lost them both at once
My only dream interrupted
Now it echoes in the dust
Now I live between photographs
And conversations left undone
Between words that never had a chance
And the father I'd have become
I was whole when you would smile
Now I only survive the days
The love I waited years to find
Lasted just long enough to break
If there's a place where time won't hurt
Hold our dream for me up there
I'm still here trying to breathe
But part of me never left that road
And the dream stopped on the highway
At a light that never turned green
My future froze in a moment
Where forever should have been
You were driving to bring me life
And I lost them both at once
My only dream interrupted
Now it echoes in the dust
And the dream stopped on the highway
At a light that never turned green
My future froze in a moment
Where forever should have been
You were driving to bring me life
And I lost them both at once
My only dream interrupted
Now it echoes in the dust
