Skyline 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Saw you standing by the river bend

Steam rising off your shirt and friend

You were laughing with the sunset glow

I swear that's the moment I first knew how

I was driving through these country streets

Watching every sunrise creep across my feet

Picking up strangers in a rusty truck

But nothing felt as real as that last look we took

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what's your story, where are you headed from?

Is it someone waiting, or just the sun rising high?

We've got a whole long road stretching out before us tonight

Which direction will you go when I shine the headlights bright

Chorus

Where do you run to, oh, when night comes falling down?

Is it north where stars are hiding, or is it right here in this town?

I'm chasing after every heartbeat that we can't deny

Where do you run to when the darkness starts to rise?

Where do you run to, oh, when shadows take the floor?

Are you chasing fireflies like I am on these country roads once more?

Every star up there in heaven knows a secret you won't tell

Verse

Now I'm parked outside your house beneath the porch light hum

You're scribbling something down inside your notebook, one line at a time

Your cat is curled up sleeping by your feet like he's trying to steal

The story that's still unwritten in the pages of this summer we've made

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what's your story, where are you headed from?

Is it someone waiting, or just the sun rising high?

We've got a whole long road stretching out before us tonight

Which direction will you go when I shine the headlights bright

Chorus

Where do you run to, oh, when night comes falling down?

Is it north where stars are hiding, or is it right here in this town?

I'm chasing after every heartbeat that we can't deny

Where do you run to when the darkness starts to rise?

Where do you run to, oh, when shadows take the floor?

Are you chasing fireflies like I am on these country roads once more?

Every star up there in heaven knows a secret you won't tell

Bridge

I'll follow every spark and every fading light

As long as you keep running straight into my sight

We might not know where this road is taking us tonight

But I know for sure that I don't want to be anywhere else but right here by your side

Chorus

Where do you run to, oh, when night comes falling down?

Is it north where stars are hiding, or is it right here in this town?

I'm chasing after every heartbeat that we can't deny

Where do you run to when the darkness starts to rise?

Where do you run to, oh, when shadows take the floor?

Are you chasing fireflies like I am on these country roads once more?

Every star up there in heaven knows a secret you won't tell
