Copper Skyline 2 3

Verse

Rust on your collarbone, sunset in your eyes

You say you're leaving me behind, like a ghost that won't deny

The wind's got a way of knowing things before they start to bend

And I think it knows the both of us are running out of time

I'll trade this worn-out denim for the copper skyline

Anything just to hold your hand and watch the stars come alive

You say you're chasing something more, but I think that's a lie

The only thing I'm chasing is keeping you from flying by

Pre-Chorus

So how do we keep our hearts from drifting apart?

How do we make this love stay in the dark?

Tell me what it means to be so free and wild

When every part of me just wants to ride the wind till I'm lost inside

Chorus

Hold on tight, hold on tight, don't let go

Copper skyline, we'll chase the gold

Every star that shines is a chance for us to break free

Not because we're running wild and wide-open sea, but because we need it here

I won't trade this worn-out denim, I won't lose your hand

We'll keep on moving 'til our hearts can stand the light of day

Hold on tight, hold on tight, don't let go

Copper skyline, copper sky

Verse

Porch swing's still swaying to the rhythm we used to know

You said you'd come back for me like a tide that doesn't go

But now your boots are gone and I'm left with just this worn-out road

I'll take it, every mile, if only you'll promise to stay right here beside me when the wind picks up

You say you're chasing your dreams but what about mine?

Every sunset says goodbye's not the same as leaving behind

I'd ride these rusty rails a thousand times if it means I get to hold your hand and watch the city lights come alive

Pre-Chorus

So how do we keep our hearts from drifting apart?

How do we make this love stay in the dark?

Tell me what it means to be so free and wild

When every part of me just wants to ride the wind till I'm lost inside

Chorus

Hold on tight, hold on tight, don't let go

Copper skyline, we'll chase the gold

Every star that shines is a chance for us to break free

Not because we're running wild and wide-open sea, but because we need it here

I won't trade this worn-out denim, I won't lose your hand

We'll keep on moving 'til our hearts can stand the light of day

Hold on tight, hold on tight, don't let go

Copper skyline, copper sky

Bridge

No more goodbyes and rusty gates

Just you, me, and these old freight train tracks we've made

I don't care if tomorrow brings a brand-new place to roam

As long as it's with you by my side I'll call this worn-out home

Hold on tight till the city lights come out to play

Then maybe someday we won't have to chase them away

Chorus

Hold on tight, hold on tight, don't let go

Copper skyline, we'll chase the gold

Every star that shines is a chance for us to break free

Not because we're running wild and wide-open sea, but because we need it here

I won't trade this worn-out denim, I won't lose your hand
