Red Dust Horizon (versione 2)

Verse

Red dust settling on your sneakers

Cigarette smoke curling where the wind leans

Radio static cutting into a song

You smile like you don't hear it anyway at all

Streetlight flickers over your collarbone

Every mile just getting warmer than warm

You said my name in a language I almost know

I just smiled and nodded, we didn't need to explain why

Pre-Chorus

Now the dark's giving up its edge

Something soft is taking over instead

Tell me is it you or the open road

Or maybe this whole night was never meant to slow

Chorus

Red dust horizon calling me out loud

I don't need a reason when my feet already found

Sweat and salt on your collarbone tonight

We're running out of dark, we got one more light

Verse

Concrete gives way to dirt and gravel

Stars blinking out like they're tired of the day

You pulled me close during the whole song

Like you knew I'd catch it if I let go

Fingers laced through my sweat-soaked shirt

Every beat a little louder, every turn a little hurt

I never wanted this to end at all

But some goodbyes taste just like a beginning's call

Pre-Chorus

Now the dark's giving up its edge

Something soft is taking over instead

Tell me is it you or the open road

Or maybe this whole night was never meant to slow

Chorus

Red dust horizon calling me out loud

I don't need a reason when my feet already found

Sweat and salt on your collarbone tonight

We're running out of dark, we got one more light

Bridge

Maybe falling's the softest kind of fall

Maybe chasing you is chasing nothing at all

Your name still rings in my ear like a bell that won't stop

I'll drive through morning just to hear it again, and this time not

Chorus

Red dust horizon calling me out loud

I don't need a reason when my feet already found

Sweat and salt on your collarbone tonight

We're running out of dark, we got one more light
