We Were Never Afraid of the Dark

Verse

Flashlight dying in the back of the tent

Fingers laced through a hole in the fence

Fourteen miles of pine and stone

Nobody's calling us home

Embers jump when the branch cracks loud

Your silhouette on a cotton cloud

We drew a map with a stick in the sand

Marked this spot like we'd understand

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the static climb your spine

Every shadow just a friend of mine

Something in us finally standing still

Chorus

We were never afraid of the dark

Two shapes moving, one single spark

Hands stayed open, hearts stayed wide

We were never afraid of the dark inside

Every corner, every unlit street

We walked through like we owned our feet

Nothing louder than our own heartbeat

We were never afraid of the dark

Verse

Streetlamp busted on the edge of town

Puddles catching neon coming down

You held the silence like it wasn't cruel

Turned the empty lot into something new

Engine ticking as it cools outside

Radio hum keeping perfect time

We don't need the sun to prove we're real

Some of the best truth you can't quite see

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the static climb your spine

Every shadow just a friend of mine

Something in us finally standing still

Chorus

We were never afraid of the dark

Two shapes moving, one single spark

Hands stayed open, hearts stayed wide

We were never afraid of the dark inside

Every corner, every unlit street

We walked through like we owned our feet

Nothing louder than our own heartbeat

We were never afraid of the dark

Bridge

Let the black hide the both of us in

Nothing to fear where the light has been

No more flinching when the streetlamps fail

We're the fire they forgot to bail

So turn it off, let the whole world blind

We already know exactly what we'll find

Chorus

We were never afraid of the dark

Two shapes moving, one single spark

Hands stayed open, hearts stayed wide

We were never afraid of the dark inside

Every corner, every unlit street

We walked through like we owned our feet

Nothing louder than our own heartbeat

We were never afraid of the dark
