Last Dance Before the Sun (versie 2)

Verse

Chalk outline of a two-step dance

Salt on your collarbone, old red wine glass

The screen door's loose and the wind keeps swinging it back again

Same five songs that we always play at this time

I remember how to count in three slow beats

How to read the way the light sits low on the porch steps

Your eyes catch mine from across the yard

We both laugh like nothing could ever stop us, not yet

Pre-Chorus

So let's make one more of these summer nights last

Hold it right where the sky turns purple and gold

Before it all fades, before we fall asleep again

Chorus

This is the last dance before the sun comes up high

Golden hour got us spinning slow and wide

I don't wanna close my eyes when this ends tonight

Cause in your hand feels like forever tonight

Verse

Your hand finds mine on the wooden railing rail

We're seventeen but I'm already tired of pretending that this could ever stay

The ice melts down in a plastic cup left over from last summer's party

But this one feels different, this one feels true

I don't care if the neighbors wake up at eight tonight

Cause right here under the porch light is where everything's alright

You lean your head on my shoulder and we don't move for five whole minutes straight

Just breathing in that sweet cornfield heat

Pre-Chorus

So let's make one more of these summer nights last

Hold it right where the sky turns purple and gold

Before it all fades, before we fall asleep again

Chorus

This is the last dance before the sun comes up high

Golden hour got us spinning slow and wide

I don't wanna close my eyes when this ends tonight

Cause in your hand feels like forever tonight

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow we'll just be normal kids at school

But right now let's stay young, let's not lose control

Chorus

This is the last dance before the sun comes up high

Golden hour got us spinning slow and wide

I don't wanna close my eyes when this ends tonight

Cause in your hand feels like forever tonight
