Verse
Screen door slaps behind us, seventeen and barefoot
Gravel driveway sting but we don't care at all
Radio's cutting static through the truck bed
Your sunburnt shoulder leaning on the wall
Popsicle sticks stacked up on the dashboard
Sprinkler running circles on the lawn
We got nowhere to be till the fireflies show up
Counting down the hours till they're gone
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel it slipping
Like the sun behind the trees
Every gold hour spilling
Through my fingers, through the leaves
Chorus
We're chasing daylight, daylight
Racing the sun down the county line
Chasing daylight, daylight
Trying to make this feel like it's not our last time
Hearts wide open, windows down
We won't slow down till the dark comes around
So we're chasing daylight, daylight
Chasing daylight
Verse
Gas station slushies melting in the console
Your hand out the window catching all that air
Zip line rope swing, lake water on our ankles
Nobody's watching, nobody's scared
Polaroid pictures curling in the shoebox
Ticket stub from the drive-in on Fifth
Every little thing feels bigger cause we know it
Won't stay this way, won't stay like this
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel it slipping
Like the sun behind the trees
Every gold hour spilling
Through my fingers, through the leaves
Chorus
We're chasing daylight, daylight
Racing the sun down the county line
Chasing daylight, daylight
Trying to make this feel like it's not our last time
Hearts wide open, windows down
We won't slow down till the dark comes around
So we're chasing daylight, daylight
Chasing daylight
Bridge
Maybe we don't stop it
Maybe we just hold it tighter
Twenty years from now I'll swear
The whole town caught on fire
It was you, it was August
It was everything all at once
So let the summer keep on burning
Long after it's gone
Chorus
We're chasing daylight, daylight
Racing the sun down the county line
Chasing daylight, daylight
Trying to make this feel like it's not our last time
Hearts wide open, windows down
We won't slow down till the dark comes around
So we're chasing daylight, daylight
Chasing daylight
