Every Time the Sun Sets Twice (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1

The streetlights flicker on at six tonight

Your shadow leans against the lamp post's beam

You're humming some old standard that I've never heard before

I press my back into the worn metal frame

The stars begin their slow climb up above

Every window glows with a warm amber light

We walk without saying anything at all

Just the rustle of your collarbone against mine tonight

Pre-Chorus

Tell me this won't fade like any ordinary summer sky

Tell me you'll still be here when the last leaves turn gold and die

Every time the sun sets twice upon our street

This feeling swells up, refusing to retreat

Chorus

You make every sunset twice as long

I lose myself in the way your eyes hold light

In the space between us where shadows come alive

We turn a whole year into one golden night

You make every sunset twice as long

Verse 2

The ice cream truck rattles down the block

A stray cat weeps beneath my parked car's wheel

I watch you count the fireflies in your cupped hands

While I recite our history out loud from start to finish

Your smile stays steady through every single line

Even when I trip over something left unsaid

You take it like a gift, unwrapped and unremarked upon

This worn-out language that's never made you feel less loved instead

Pre-Chorus

Tell me this won't fade like any ordinary summer sky

Tell me you'll still be here when the last leaves turn gold and die

Every time the sun sets twice upon our street

This feeling swells up, refusing to retreat

Chorus

You make every sunset twice as long

I lose myself in the way your eyes hold light

In the space between us where shadows come alive

We turn a whole year into one golden night

You make every sunset twice as long

Bridge

Forget every word I ever wrote down

Just this – you're still standing, holding my hand through all these years

Not a promise but an accident we can't bear to part with yet

Every time the sun sets twice upon our street

Chorus

You make every sunset twice as long

I lose myself in the way your eyes hold light

In the space between us where shadows come alive

We turn a whole year into one golden night

You make every sunset twice as long
