Sunroof Gold (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Your dad's old sedan, sunroof cracked like glass

Dusty map of roads we never finished drawing

The CD skips on 'Teardrops on My Guitar

You're laughing so hard it cuts through everything

Pre-Chorus

We never made it to the coast that summer

Just your porch steps and a bottle of lemonade

I'm still learning what the words for this feeling are

But I know it feels like home somehow

Chorus

This is the kind of gold that comes back slow

Like the light that creeps through blinds after rain

It's bittersweet but it's ours now, so we go

Sunroof gold and the ache stays warm again

Verse

You left for college with a cardboard box full of rocks from our driveway

I found them by my window three years later

Turned out they were a map to all the good parts

Of a summer I thought was lost but wasn't, really

Pre-Chorus

We never made it to the coast that summer

Just your porch steps and a bottle of lemonade

I'm still learning what the words for this feeling are

But I know it feels like home somehow

Chorus

This is the kind of gold that comes back slow

Like the light that creeps through blinds after rain

It's bittersweet but it's ours now, so we go

Sunroof gold and the ache stays warm again

Bridge

Maybe every ending just becomes a threshold

A door you thought closed turns out to hold another hallway

I'm not crying for what could've been this time

I'm crying because I'm still here, still mine

Chorus

This is the kind of gold that comes back slow

Like the light that creeps through blinds after rain

It's bittersweet but it's ours now, so we go

Sunroof gold and the ache stays warm again
