Burning Gold at Midnight (Version 2)

Verse

Windows down on the highway line

Grey turns gold where the city bends

Your hand finds mine, no more pretend

Sunrise creeping through the rearview glass

We left yesterday back in the dust

Gold on your skin, don't know what's real yet

Same four wheels, but everything new

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up our spines?

Every light out there turns silver and white

Tell me this is gonna last through the night

Chorus

We're burning gold at midnight, driving slow

Sky's on fire in a rhythm we know

Windows down on a highway that never ends

Burning gold at midnight with my best friend

Hold this line till the whole sky breaks open wide

Nothing left but this song and your side

Verse 2

Radio static turns into a hymn

Streetlights blur to one long silver stream

Your hand on the wheel, mine finds your wrist again

This is the only moment I trust

Neon fades where the sunrise starts to climb

We keep going like we got forever left

Every mile's a promise nobody's kept

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up our spines?

Every light out there turns silver and white

Tell me this is gonna last through the night

Chorus

We're burning gold at midnight, driving slow

Sky's on fire in a rhythm we know

Windows down on a highway that never ends

Burning gold at midnight with my best friend

Hold this line till the whole sky breaks open wide

Nothing left but this song and your side

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow morning turns into gray

But right now, none of it matters anyway

Just this bassline holding up the sky

Just us two staying alive until sunrise

Chorus

We're burning gold at midnight, driving slow

Sky's on fire in a rhythm we know

Windows down on a highway that never ends

Burning gold at midnight with my best friend

Hold this line till the whole sky breaks open wide

Nothing left but this song and your side
