Lyrics

Instrumental Intro

Chorus

The sky opens up to your beauty

Every star leans in to get a look

The sky still remembers the old memories

And the moon still remembers your smile

Post-Chorus

(Opens up) Opens up

(Leans in) Leans in

Verse 1

I was seventeen on the reservation road

Drums were rolling somewhere past the pines

You hummed along to songs you never fully knew

Your laugh came tumbling through the passenger side

Pre-Chorus

And the hills kept turning gold

And the evening felt so bold

Chorus

The sky opens up to your beauty

Every star leans in to get a look

The sky still remembers the old memories

And the moon still remembers your smile

Post-Chorus

(Opens up) Opens up

(Leans in) Leans in

Verse 2

Later I would drive that highway all alone

Same road

Different weather in my chest

I would call your name into the canyon wind

Waiting for an answer I could rest

Pre-Chorus

And the hills still turning gold

And the evening growing cold

Chorus

The sky opens up to your beauty

Every star leans in to get a look

The sky still remembers the old memories

And the moon still remembers your smile

Bridge

I carry you

I carry you

In the wide blue

In the wide blue

Chorus

The sky opens up to your beauty

Every star leans in to get a look

The sky still remembers the old memories

And the moon still remembers your smile

Post-Chorus

(Opens up) Opens up

(Leans in) Leans in

(Your smile) Your smile
