Sixteen, Radio Zero (النسخة 2)

Verse

Sixteen summers and the sun's still low

Static on your phone where the dial goes back slow

Left my keys on the porch by the open gate

Radio static talking to the same old state

Dust on my boots from the field out past town

Cassette tape hissing like it's never going down

Your window rolled down, two miles too fast

We're running late for nothing, just a song and this asphalt

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the light stays golden every year

Is it something in the air or something here?

Do we ever learn to hold onto the hours that never end

Or do they slip right through our hands like sand again?

Chorus

Sixteen and radio zero, that's where I want to be

Every mile a promise we won't break free

Static on my dashboard light, your hand still in mine tonight

I'm not scared of growing up if it means I get one more night

Sixteen and radio zero, turn me down but don't let go

Verse

Your brother's old truck rattling down the lane

Same four songs we've heard a thousand times in vain

Ice cream melt drips on the dashboard floor

We're not building nothing, just living for the score

Creekbed swimming hole where the water turns to gold

Two headlights out of nowhere and our laughter told

The stars keep moving overhead like they know the deal

Summer's still running through the wires of my wheel

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the light stays golden every year

Is it something in the air or something here?

Do we ever learn to hold onto the hours that never end

Or do they slip right through our hands like sand again?

Chorus

Sixteen and radio zero, that's where I want to be

Every mile a promise we won't break free

Static on my dashboard light, your hand still in mine tonight

I'm not scared of growing up if it means I get one more night

Sixteen and radio zero, turn me down but don't let go

Bridge

Maybe this is the last one that stays warm

Before September rolls around and we're just a name on a form

So let's keep the static loud tonight

Let's ride it out into morning light

Chorus

Sixteen and radio zero, that's where I want to be

Every mile a promise we won't break free

Static on my dashboard light, your hand still in mine tonight

I'm not scared of growing up if it means I get one more night

Sixteen and radio zero, turn me down but don't let go
