Sunset in a Cup (versie 2)

Verse 1

You said drive to the coast with me before it sets

That we can watch the colors turn from red to blue

So I turned the key in the engine and your smile lit up the glass

We found a spot where sea and sky were one

I leaned my head on your shoulder, felt the day unwind like gold

Your hand slid into mine, warm and steady through my coat

Pre-Chorus

Now every window's burning with a light I've never seen

And this whole long ride was just to get us here alone

Is it just sunset or something more than that?

Do you feel the same way in your chest as I do now

Chorus

Sunset in a cup, turning gold for two

Every color bleeding into me and you

I don't need another tomorrow, just this one glass

Sunset in a cup, with you I know where it lasts

We watched as day turned into nothing and night came to our side

The world went quiet and all we had was the sky

Verse 2

You said isn't this the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?

I nodded because I'd run out of words to describe this in my head

So we just sat there drinking in the color, watching stars begin to twinkle in

Your arm found its way around me and we stayed like that till dark

The world outside went quiet but inside it felt brand new

You kept saying how this sunset's painting something on your heart

And I knew exactly what you meant because it was doing the same thing to mine

Pre-Chorus

Now every window's burning with a light I've never seen

And this whole long ride was just to get us here alone

Is it just sunset or something more than that?

Do you feel the same way in your chest as I do now

Chorus

Sunset in a cup, turning gold for two

Every color bleeding into me and you

I don't need another tomorrow, just this one glass

Sunset in a cup, with you I know where it lasts

We watched as day turned into nothing and night came to our side

The world went quiet and all we had was the sky

Bridge

Maybe sunsets aren't something that happens once or twice

But maybe they're the only time we let go of every line

So here's to sunset in a cup, for holding us tonight

And for turning everything into pure gold light

Chorus

Sunset in a cup, turning gold for two

Every color bleeding into me and you

I don't need another tomorrow, just this one glass

Sunset in a cup, with you I know where it lasts

We watched as day turned into nothing and night came to our side

The world went quiet and all we had was the sky
