Hold on to whatever light (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1

Gas station sign cuts off the sun

Fuel pump humming where our words are done

You're checking every map you've ever seen

I'm trying to hold on to what was said

Coffee stains like freckles on your wrist

We both know that this road's been a lie

I don't want tomorrow, I just want tonight

Pre-Chorus

What if we could keep the sky open?

Keep the engine running till the dawn

Could you take my hand and walk me backwards?

Into all of the colors leaving us torn

What if every exit led to home?

Would you drive on until the night became one

One long slow burn with no place to go

And nothing left but where we are, and gold

Chorus

Say hold on to whatever light is left

Hold on to it like a fire in your chest

Keep it burning till the highway ends

Keep it burning till our hands find each other again

Let the engine die with every sunset

Let the whole of me be just where you begin

We'll ride this one out into the morning dew

Holding onto the light that's made for you

Verse 2

Dusty mirror catching the brake lights

Ponytailed girls in a diner booth tonight

You're counting down the miles until we don't move

I'm counting every second that we prove

The neon sign is flickering half-asleep

We've been running since the stars gave up their keep

Every engine sputter means one more night

Means I get to stay right here, and it's alright

Pre-Chorus

What if we could keep the sky open?

Keep the engine running till the dawn

Could you take my hand and walk me backwards?

Into all of the colors leaving us torn

What if every exit led to home?

Would you drive on until the night became one

One long slow burn with no place to go

And nothing left but where we are, and gold

Chorus

Say hold on to whatever light is left

Hold on to it like a fire in your chest

Keep it burning till the highway ends

Keep it burning till our hands find each other again

Let the engine die with every sunset

Let the whole of me be just where you begin

We'll ride this one out into the morning dew

Holding onto the light that's made for you

Bridge

You say 'I don't know what tomorrow brings

I say I'm happy right here, where we sing

Every map is just a map to pretend

But tonight you're not pretending with me, no friend

So hold on tight while the headlights cut thin

Hold on until there's nothing left but us, and this skin

Chorus

Say hold on to whatever light is left

Hold on to it like a fire in your chest

Keep it burning till the highway ends

Keep it burning till our hands find each other again

Let the engine die with every sunset

Let the whole of me be just where you begin

We'll ride this one out into the morning dew

Holding onto the light that's made for you
