Hold This Gold Till Night (Version 2)

Verse

Salt on my collarbone, the radio cuts in

Your voice still ringing from the last verse you sang

Sunset's burning orange behind your ears

I'm holding this feeling like it's about to disappear

Barefoot on the dashboard, engine warm from rest

Neon flickers soft against the trees

You turn around and catch me staring at you

I don't know what I'm doing but my heart is moving through

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it climbing up your spine?

Something I've never felt in mine before

Is this the start or the fade away?

Tell me if you're chasing it too today

Chorus

Hold this gold till night falls

Keep the summer, don't let go at all

Skin on skin and we don't look back

Catch it slow before it slinks away again

Verse

Soda gone flat in a cup beside us

Ice cream drips down through the straw that won't die

Your thumb draws circles on my wrist so slow

Every little spark I'm learning how to know

Riptide pulling at your boardshorts tight

Laughing till my ribs go loose and light

Seagulls wheel above while we stay still

Nothing in the world can break this thrill

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it climbing up your spine?

Something I've never felt in mine before

Is this the start or the fade away?

Tell me if you're chasing it too today

Chorus

Hold this gold till night falls

Keep the summer, don't let go at all

Skin on skin and we don't look back

Catch it slow before it slinks away again

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow I'll forget your name

But right now the whole world's yours to claim

Every heartbeat says stay with me tonight

I won't regret this if I'm holding on tight

Chorus

Hold this gold till night falls

Keep the summer, don't let go at all

Skin on skin and we don't look back

Catch it slow before it slinks away again
