Copper Wire Halo (versión 2)

Verse

Sister's old denim jacket, moth eaten thin

Map of the coast drawn on a beer napkin again

Engine coughing smoke at the top of the lane

Fireflies caught in a jar like they're keeping score

Radio static fading to something soft

I'm not listening anymore

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it's going to take

To get past this ground we're breaking through

Something's burning on the other side

We were built for more than just staying home

Hold my hands up like a lit fuse

This is ours, nobody owns us now

Chorus

Racing stripes across the evening sky

Burning every rule that used to tie us down

Copper wire halo on a runaway train

Nothing left here worth staying for again

Verse

Neon diner signs reflect off the hood

Windows down and the bass is bleeding through the road

Every mile marker flashing like a heartbeat we stole

Grandfather's watch stopped at three forty-three

That night he drove out but never made it home

We're writing our own story in the same old tone

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it's going to take

To get past this ground we're breaking through

Something's burning on the other side

We were built for more than just staying home

Hold my hands up like a lit fuse

This is ours, nobody owns us now

Chorus

Racing stripes across the evening sky

Burning every rule that used to tie us down

Copper wire halo on a runaway train

Nothing left here worth staying for again

Bridge

Maybe freedom tastes like salt and smoke

Maybe running out of choices is the point

Every name we left behind back home was just a weight

Today I'm trading wings for wheels and heat

Chorus

Racing stripes across the evening sky

Burning every rule that used to tie us down

Copper wire halo on a runaway train

Nothing left here worth staying for again
