Chasing Thunder (versie 2)

Verse

Radio static fading into the heat

Popsicle sticks leaving a sweet brown line on my tongue

Old cassette tape clicking on in the trunk of your car

Summer's like this song we're only learning how to play

No destination, just the hum and the sway

Every window down so we don't have to turn back around

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the sky gives up its gold

When do we stop before we fold?

I feel it coming close enough to touch tonight

We've got this whole road stretching out like a light in our headlights

Every mile is a reason not to be scared of losing control tonight

Chorus

Then the thunder rolls and we let go, yeah

Every single second feels like forever now, oh

The wind gets loud but we don't get still

We ride it down till there's nothing left behind us but the glow

This is the only time we'll ever know how to move this fast

So hold my hand up like you mean it, make a wish that never breaks

Then the thunder rolls and we let go!

Verse

Tailgate open, speaker box rattling loose by the bed

Creek running low where the gravel turns to dust and red

Nobody's talking 'bout tomorrow or what could be instead

Just the wheels kicking up fireflies on every turn we tread

You laugh so loud my ribs start ringing like a bell

I'm pretty sure this is the kind of reckless I can tell

The whole highway's ours till it learns how to bend

So buckle loose and let the engine wind out your hair again

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the sky gives up its gold

When do we stop before we fold?

I feel it coming close enough to touch tonight

Chorus

Then the thunder rolls and we let go, yeah

Every single second feels like forever now, oh

The wind gets loud but we don't get still

We ride it down till there's nothing left behind us but the glow

This is the only time we'll ever know how to move this fast

So hold my hand up like you mean it, make a wish that never breaks

Then the thunder rolls and we let go!

Bridge

Don't say forever, just say tonight

Don't tell me anything that could turn into light

This is our own private storm right here

I'm not scared of getting lost as long as I have you for air

So what's one more promise before the summer turns to gray?

Is it really so scary letting go when there's nothing left to hold anyway

Nothing left to lose, just me and you and this highway that still hasn't learned how

Chorus

Then the thunder rolls and we let go, yeah

Every single second feels like forever now, oh

The wind gets loud but we don't get still

We ride it down till there's nothing left behind us but the glow

This is the only time we'll ever know how to move this fast

So hold my hand up like you mean it, make a wish that never breaks

Then the thunder rolls and we let go!
