Golden Hour Ransom (version 2)

Verse

Radio static turns into a song we know

Old cassette tape on the dashboard glow

Window rolled down, the highway's just us two

Counting stars fading behind what we do

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it pulling me in?

Summer's gonna end before we win

Something's calling from over the line

Chorus

So I'll take this golden hour ransom

Every second stolen, every song we know

I won't let it fade before the dawn breaks

Golden hour, give it back to us now

We're chasing sunset like a promise made

Verse

Fireflies blinking in the field behind our house

Screen door slaps shut with every single sound we make

Ice cream truck fading into the blue haze

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing right here stays

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it pulling me in?

Summer's gonna end before we win

Something's calling from over the line

Chorus

So I'll take this golden hour ransom

Every second stolen, every song we know

I won't let it fade before the dawn breaks

Golden hour, give it back to us now

We're chasing sunset like a promise made

Bridge

Maybe we should sleep in tomorrow night

But tonight's the only clock that's still alright

So I'll hold this moment till the colors bleed

Every gold minute is all that I need

No more waiting 'til next year rolls around

This summer's mine, and it never hits the ground

Chorus

So I'll take this golden hour ransom

Every second stolen, every song we know

I won't let it fade before the dawn breaks

Golden hour, give it back to us now

We're chasing sunset like a promise made
