Gold Dust on the Dashboard (versie 2)

Verse 1

Tape on the dashboard, static in the vents

Nineteen again before we spent

Two whole summers we never got to ride

Every exit on this highway a mile wide

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building in your chest now

Like every road's got its own sunrise somehow

Chorus

We're gold dust catching sun off the window glass

Every year that we kept is still in our skin

Running past the fields where we used to laugh out loud

Nothing here has ever felt so alive at all

Verse 2

Radio static cuts the whole county blue

Sun on your collarbone and I'm feeling it too

One more song before this gas light burns down

This whole summer's ours right now, never going back

My name still spelled out in chalk dust by the dock

Every promise we made is written in that glow

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising in your chest now

Like every road's got its own sunrise somehow

Chorus

We're gold dust catching sun off the window glass

Every year that we kept is still in our skin

Running past the fields where we used to laugh out loud

Nothing here has ever felt so alive at all

Bridge

Maybe someday this whole horizon folds

And the road behind us turns into something older

But right now every mile's still ours alone

Gold on the dashboard, I don't want it to stop

Someday we'll be driving home from somewhere else

Carrying every secret we buried in our chest

Chorus

We're gold dust catching sun off the window glass

Every year that we kept is still in our skin

Running past the fields where we used to laugh out loud

Nothing here has ever felt so alive at all
