Hold On to the Horizon

Verse

Screen door slamming, sixteen and barefoot

Tar road shimmers where the bike tires skid

Fireflies caught in a jam jar, lid punched through

Waiting on the water tower, just us kids

Cousin's truck bed, radio hanging loose

Sparklers writing letters no one reads

Dock boards creaking under salt and juice

Whole summer stretched out like it's got no end

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the sun still climbing high

Like it knows we're never saying goodbye

Something wide is calling out our names

Chorus

Hold on to the horizon

Where the gold light never dies

Hands up, we're still rising

Painted wild across the sky

Every mile we ever ran on

Every star we set our eyes on

We were young, we were the reason

Hold on to the horizon

Verse

Gas station slushies melting down our wrists

Cassette tape wound with a pencil twist

County fair lights blur to a carousel hymn

Ferris wheel stuck right where the two worlds meet

Chalk drawn hopscotch fading on the street

Porch light on but nobody's calling us in

Barn dance echoes down the empty field

Every ordinary night feels like a win

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the sun still climbing high

Like it knows we're never saying goodbye

Something wide is calling out our names

Chorus

Hold on to the horizon

Where the gold light never dies

Hands up, we're still rising

Painted wild across the sky

Every mile we ever ran on

Every star we set our eyes on

We were young, we were the reason

Hold on to the horizon

Bridge

Twenty years from now I'll drive this road

Find the tower rusted, paint long gone

But I'll roll the windows down and know

Some part of me is still out there and young

The gravel dust, the engine hum

It never left, it just moved on

Chorus

Hold on to the horizon

Where the gold light never dies

Hands up, we're still rising

Painted wild across the sky

Every mile we ever ran on

Every star we set our eyes on

We were young, we were the reason

Hold on to the horizon
