Where the Sun Forgets to Set

Verse

Lemonade rings on a wooden porch

Bicycle spokes catching gold

Your sunburnt shoulder next to mine

Seventeen and never growing old

The radio hums through a screen door

Static and salt in the air

We trace our names in the melting ice

Like we've got forever to spare

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, does it ever end

This gold that spills through every hour

Or do we chase it round the bend

Barefoot, laughing, losing power

Chorus

We're running where the sun forgets to set

Where the days don't dim, no curfew yet

Two shadows stretching down a coastal street

Where the sun forgets to set

Where the sun forgets to set

Verse

Peaches sweating in a paper sack

Fireflies stitched to the dark

We steal the hours from a lazy clock

And leave our footprints in the park

The tide keeps time on the warm sand

Your hand finds mine like it knows the way

We're drawing maps with no roads marked

Just this endless, honeyed day

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, does it ever end

This gold that spills through every hour

Or do we chase it round the bend

Barefoot, laughing, losing power

Chorus

We're running where the sun forgets to set

Where the days don't dim, no curfew yet

Two shadows stretching down a coastal street

Where the sun forgets to set

Where the sun forgets to set

Bridge

Maybe autumn's waiting past the pier

Maybe we won't stay this way

But right now the light won't disappear

And I'm not counting up the days

Chorus

We're running where the sun forgets to set

Where the days don't dim, no curfew yet

Two shadows stretching down a coastal street

Where the sun forgets to set

Where the sun forgets to set
