Chalk Line Anthem (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Chalk line cracking where the streetlight bends

Bus stop graffiti we don't understand.

Riding home with windows rolled down low

Shirts soaked through from the block's own heat flow.

Nobody's got a plan for this summer

Just the hiss of traffic, static in our fingers.

Sidewalk chalk and sneakers on the curb

Same four blocks that we been stuck in like a blur.

I draw your name so it don't wash away

Before the rain comes back to ruin everything we say

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building, rising through the drain?

Something breaking open underneath our names.

Hold on to this feeling, let it build some more

This is the only summer where I know what I'm looking for

Chorus

I drew your name in chalk and watched the storm erase it

But that's okay because it came back, sharper this time.

Every rainy night we run through empty streets like thieves

That's how you learn to love something just by how much it bleeds.

So don't you disappear on me — stay right here beside

Where the water runs clear but everything still feels alive

Verse

Storm drain echoes every shout from down below

Floodlights flickering where the power grid lets go.

You grab my hand in traffic, don't let go of my sleeve

Racing raindrops to a bus stop that's not there — we can't see it yet.

Skateboard wheels skid on slick concrete — it's a miracle we stay upright

But underneath all this noise is something pulling us into the light.

Same four blocks but they feel like a runway now

Like every obstacle just turned into fuel somehow.

I drew your name in big sloppy letters, watched them fade to blue

That was never supposed to be forever — I just wanted it to break through

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building, rising through the drain?

Something breaking open underneath our names.

Hold on to this feeling, let it build some more

This is the only summer where I know what I'm looking for

Chorus

I drew your name in chalk and watched the storm erase it

But that's okay because it came back, sharper this time.

Every rainy night we run through empty streets like thieves

That's how you learn to love something just by how much it bleeds.

So don't you disappear on me — stay right here beside

Where the water runs clear but everything still feels alive

Bridge

Maybe it's not meant to last, maybe that's just what we're told.

But I'm tired of holding this close like a secret nobody knows — so let it go.

Let the flood wash through and see if anything survives

If it does then that's a miracle bigger than we survive.

I don't need forever written in stone tonight

Just one more run down these empty streets, and the light at the end is ours — not just a lie

Chorus

I drew your name in chalk and watched the storm erase it

But that's okay because it came back, sharper this time.

Every rainy night we run through empty streets like thieves

That's how you learn to love something just by how much it bleeds.

So don't you disappear on me — stay right here beside
