Gold Light Parade

Intro

Lights come up slow where the highway bends

Verse 1 – male vocal lead, female alto harmony on hooks

Miles of black turn into gold

Windshield sparkles, young and bold

Radio's hum gets swallowed whole by the view

Every streetlamp fading blue

Pre-Chorus – both vocals trading full harmonies

Something in my chest gives way tonight

Barely holding, barely out of sight

Chorus – duet, layered stacked harmonies on every line, anthem swell

Gold light parade, we're running wild and free

Every mile behind us turns to amber sea

Hands up high where the dark turns bright

Tonight the whole town catches firelight

Verse 2 – female lead vocal, male alto harmony on hooks

Your hand finds mine in the haze of smoke

Same song playing, same three-step groove

Someone's laughing at a stop sign light

We're running slow but it feels just right

Pre-Chorus – both vocals trading full harmonies

Something in my chest gives way tonight

Barely holding, barely out of sight

Chorus – duet, layered stacked harmonies on every line, anthem swell

Gold light parade, we're running wild and free

Every mile behind us turns to amber sea

Hands up high where the dark turns bright

Tonight the whole town catches firelight

Bridge – male lead, heavy distortion swells around him, sparse beat keeps time

Nobody's counting how far we stray

The road just curves into a new kind of day

So let it burn while it's gold and wide

Chorus – duet, layered stacked harmonies on every line, anthem swell

Gold light parade, we're running wild and free

Every mile behind us turns to amber sea

Hands up high where the dark turns bright

Tonight the whole town catches firelight

Outro

Sky's turning blue on both sides of the street

Still moving, still out of our seats
