Kingdom Come 2 (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse 1

Saltwater dripping on the dashboard screen

Tow truck leaving a mile back down the highway line

Paper bag lunch you forgot at home

Coffee grounds spilled out where I thought you'd be

I said I'd drive till we found a place to call it home

You said that wasn't what made us whole

Pre-Chorus

Do we trade in the gold for something real?

Or do we follow the sunset instead?

Every promise turns into its own regret

Until the road stops turning, where do we put the bet?

Chorus

I'm chasing you down through the open air

Picking up the pieces when they go astray

We're building kingdoms and tearing them apart

But somehow this highway's where our hearts start

Paper crowns that rusted out a mile ago

Burning up into the smoke from your brake light show

Every broken dream gets left behind on gravel roads

Verse 2

You said you wanted open skies and miles of no one

I just wanted your hand when the engine stalled on two hundred

Sunlight glinting off a bottle that's been empty for hours

You told me not to worry, this was just what we were looking for

We pulled over by the river, the water's dark and wide

You drew a heart in the dust where the headlights used to shine

Pre-Chorus

Do we trade in the gold for something real?

Or do we follow the sunset instead?

Every promise turns into its own regret

Until the road stops turning, where do we put the bet?

Chorus

I'm chasing you down through the open air

Picking up the pieces when they go astray

We're building kingdoms and tearing them apart

But somehow this highway's where our hearts start

Paper crowns that rusted out a mile ago

Burning up into the smoke from your brake light show

Every broken dream gets left behind on gravel roads

Bridge

The radio cut out back at the last filling station sign

Your eyes were shining soft like the stars above the open line

I said I'm sorry, can we turn it around and start again?

You said the only thing that lasts is what you keep within

Not the gold or the kingdom, not the road or the sound

But just this quiet in between when everything came down

Chorus

I'm chasing you down through the open air

Picking up the pieces when they go astray

We're building kingdoms and tearing them apart

But somehow this highway's where our hearts start

Paper crowns that rusted out a mile ago

Burning up into the smoke from your brake light show

Every broken dream gets left behind on gravel roads
