Fires in the Foothills (versie 2)

Verse

Gravel beneath your bare feet and the radio humming

Fenders rusted where the sun catches every dent

Your laughter like fireflies dancing on the fence line

County fair sky turning pink from the way we bend

The smell of sweat and gasoline floating through the air

Bass line rattling in my chest, I know that you're there

We chased down stars till they were just a haze of light

Now I'm holding your hand underneath the county fair tonight

Pre-Chorus

So what happens when the sun finally drops below

Do we pack it in or keep on glowin' slow?

What's the rule for when the summer nights turn grey

Is this still fire, or is this just a goodbye

Chorus

Fires in the foothills burning bright and wide

We're chasing down the sunset 'til the stars collide

Every kiss tastes like gasoline under your skin

I don't care if tomorrow breaks if we can keep the spark lit tonight

Fires in the foothills burning wild and free

Where do you run when the sunrise finds me

Verse

Ribbon twisted in my hair, sugar dust on our hands

Grandpa's old guitar tuning out the evening bands

You sing soft against my shoulder like it's just for us alone

Your voice cuts straight through the static of a thousand neon stones

We spun to every song like it was one we made up ourselves

Bailers breaking in the dark but I don't wanna leave this spell

We chased down a shooting star and made a wish as it passed by

Now your fingers are tangled with mine, counting the fireflies

Pre-Chorus

So what happens when the sun finally drops below

Do we pack it in or keep on glowin' slow?

What's the rule for when the summer nights turn grey

Is this still fire, or is this just a goodbye

Chorus

Fires in the foothills burning bright and wide

We're chasing down the sunset 'til the stars collide

Every kiss tastes like gasoline under your skin

I don't care if tomorrow breaks if we can keep the spark lit tonight

Fires in the foothills burning wild and free

Where do you run when the sunrise finds me

Bridge

Maybe this is just one long, warm goodbye

Maybe it's forever, I won't say no to the sky

You pull the strings on my heart like a fiddle through thin air

We're leaving footprints in the dust before we even know we care

I don't want the sunrise yet, I want more of you tonight

Is this fire just a spark or is it something that's gonna ignite

Chorus

Fires in the foothills burning bright and wide

We're chasing down the sunset 'til the stars collide

Every kiss tastes like gasoline under your skin

I don't care if tomorrow breaks if we can keep the spark lit tonight

Fires in the foothills burning wild and free

Where do you run when the sunrise finds me
