Fire in Your Chest 2 (version 2)

Verse

Barefoot on the gravel drive, you pull my door open wide

The crickets are louder than we ever let go of inside

Your jacket's still too big but I don't need it to stay warm

You take one breath for both of us like it's a thing that's yours

Pre-Chorus

Now the engine hums awake and your eyes light up the dark

So what if we're only just starting where others went far?

Just keep the pedal down low and let this feeling move us fast

We can learn to drive these streets ourselves, no map to hold at last

Chorus

Burn it out in fire on our feet

Let it catch like embers we both beat

In your shadow I feel free

Fire in your chest is where the road's supposed to be

Hold my hand across this open space

Wherever you want to drive, that's our place

Verse 2

Your fingers brush against mine and we don't pull them away

The streetlights turn to copper as we watch the sun break through gray

No one tells us how these things are done

Just a low hum in the floorboard till the engine starts to come alive

Every single other kid is moving out of state

But this is not our family history, it's what we invent instead

Pre-Chorus

Now the engine hums awake and your eyes light up the dark

So what if we're only just starting where others went far?

Just keep the pedal down low and let this feeling move us fast

We can learn to drive these streets ourselves, no map to hold at last

Chorus

Burn it out in fire on our feet

Let it catch like embers we both beat

In your shadow I feel free

Fire in your chest is where the road's supposed to be

Hold my hand across this open space

Wherever you want to drive, that's our place

Bridge

No plan for who we're gonna find

Just the hum of all four wheels aligned

Drive until it gets too bright and pull right up against the sun

Watch how our shadows stretch and run

Chorus

Burn it out in fire on our feet

Let it catch like embers we both beat

In your shadow I feel free

Fire in your chest is where the road's supposed to be

Hold my hand across this open space

Wherever you want to drive, that's our place
