Lay It Down in Amber (versión 2)

Verse 1

Neon fades to orange on the sidewalk floor

Your hair still smells like cigarette smoke in a rainstorm before

You toss your scarf into my truck bed like it don't weigh nothin' at all

I'm tryin' not to be sad, but the quiet's gettin' loud inside this hall

The last of the summer sun drips down my chest, golden and low

Your eyes keep tellin' me that you're okay, even when I know

You don't have a place to go and neither do I, so maybe we both just belong here tonight

Pre-Chorus

So what's the hurry if it's still warm on your neck?

What's the point of walkin' off into some darker kind of reckoning?

Maybe this is where home really starts — not in a place or a name, but in the way that we hold onto each other like we're swimmin' through the flames

Chorus

Lay it down in amber

Hold on to every second till it's gone

Don't let go of how this feels right now

We can chase tomorrow in our own time, not tonight

Verse 2

Your hand keeps findin' mine like it knows where I am even when the streetlights die

I swear I saw a ghost of something we used to be, but your eyes said it's still here, deep inside my chest

The sky is turnin' pink around us, paint-box red and gold

You take off your heels by the curb and I watch 'em roll into the night

We sit on the tailgate with our legs curled up like a picture frame

I'm holdin' onto what we got for as long as the sun stays warm and the same

Pre-Chorus

So what's the hurry if it's still warm on your neck?

What's the point of walkin' off into some darker kind of reckoning?

Maybe this is where home really starts — not in a place or a name, but in the way that we hold onto each other like we're swimmin' through the flames

Chorus

Lay it down in amber

Hold on to every second till it's gone

Don't let go of how this feels right now

We can chase tomorrow in our own time, not tonight

Bridge

Maybe 'home' ain't a place that you come back to

Maybe it's just the way your hand finds mine like we're two pieces of a puzzle fit together tight

So I won't ask where you been or what you were runnin' from

I'll just hold onto right here, even when this sun goes down

Chorus

Lay it down in amber

Hold on to every second till it's gone

Don't let go of how this feels right now

We can chase tomorrow in our own time, not tonight
