Copper Sun on your cheekbones 2

Verse

Bicycle spokes catch the morning light

Your hair is tangled from sleeping tight

We ride past the houses we used to climb

The sky's turning copper on your cheekbones this time

I don't know why it feels like a goodbye

This one last ride before you leave me behind

Pre-Chorus

Is it something I've done or something in the air?

Tell me, is it just a season we can't repair?

Chorus

Copper sun on your cheekbones and gold in your eyes

Every sunset we chase makes us wonder why

We're not staying here forever like we used to think

I'm holding onto the light until you disappear from my sight

Hold on, hold on

The fields are burning up with every kiss

This is it, this is it, we can't live twice

Copper sun on your cheekbones and gold in your eyes

Every sunset we chase makes us wonder why

We're not staying here forever like we used to think

I'm holding onto the light until you disappear from my sight

Hold on, hold on

Verse

The porch swing's creaking where we wrote our names

In silver paint that faded before it had a chance

I remember every word and every shade

Of how I felt when I thought we'd stay

You're not the same as you were all those years ago

Your eyes keep sparkling like they always used to glow

But sometimes late at night I wonder if we ever knew

The real reason why we left, or what was meant to be

Pre-Chorus

Is it something I've done or something in the air?

Tell me, is it just a season we can't repair?

Chorus

Copper sun on your cheekbones and gold in your eyes

Every sunset we chase makes us wonder why

We're not staying here forever like we used to think

I'm holding onto the light until you disappear from my sight

Hold on, hold on

The fields are burning up with every kiss

This is it, this is it, we can't live twice

Copper sun on your cheekbones and gold in your eyes

Every sunset we chase makes us wonder why

We're not staying here forever like we used to think

I'm holding onto the light until you disappear from my sight

Hold on, hold on

Bridge

Maybe it's okay to let go of this place

Maybe you don't have to stay just because of your face

You deserve a sky that doesn't burn so bright

And I'll still be here when it turns into silver tonight

Chorus

Copper sun on your cheekbones and gold in your eyes

Every sunset we chase makes us wonder why

We're not staying here forever like we used to think

I'm holding onto the light until you disappear from my sight

Hold on, hold on

The fields are burning up with every kiss

This is it, this is it, we can't live twice

Copper sun on your cheekbones and gold in your eyes

Every sunset we chase makes us wonder why

We're not staying here forever like we used to think

I'm holding onto the light until you disappear from my sight

Hold on, hold on

Outro

Holding onto the light
