River Grass and Rust (versión 2)

Intro

River grass and rust

Meet me by the old oak

Verse

Screen door creaks on a Sunday morning

Grandpa's truck still humming in my chest

You said you'd meet me at the waterline

Twelve years gone but I still know every street

Pre-Chorus

So what do we do with a summer that won't stay

Just a photograph and a fading blue sky

Do we let it drift or hold onto the day

Or learn to love this version of goodbye

Chorus

River grass and rust, but I'm still dancing where you said to stay

Salt on my skin, gold on your collarbone

I won't say forever, just tonight, just right now, come what may

River grass and rust, we're chasing every sunset home

Verse

Your jacket's hung by the porch, scent of bonfire smoke

Radio's playing the song that we used to sing

I'm older now but I still know this road like the back of my hand

Every mile marker's a memory we can't let go of, can't lose it again

Pre-Chorus

So what do we do with a summer that won't stay

Just a photograph and a fading blue sky

Do we let it drift or hold onto the day

Or learn to love this version of goodbye

Chorus

River grass and rust, but I'm still dancing where you said to stay

Salt on my skin, gold on your collarbone

I won't say forever, just tonight, just right now, come what may

River grass and rust, we're chasing every sunset home

Bridge

Maybe endings are just doors in the shape of goodbyes

Maybe leaving means you come back different, not divided

I'm keeping my hands open like a bird on the wing

Waiting for tomorrow when this ache turns into something

Something warm, something gold, something that I can hold

Chorus

River grass and rust, but I'm still dancing where you said to stay

Salt on my skin, gold on your collarbone

I won't say forever, just tonight, just right now, come what may

River grass and rust, we're chasing every sunset home
