Fault Line Sunset

Verse

Taxi light ticking down the block

Dust on my fingertips where the sun let go

Your coat's still slung over my shoulder like a map to nowhere

We're counting down till someone decides what happens next

The radio crackles static through the glass window seat

Chewing gum slow, watching shadows creep across your shoes

Nothing else matters than this half hour between us

Pre-Chorus

So don't look back, don't pull your sleeve loose

We've got one more mile before they turn out the lights

Just breathe it in — every single minute's ours tonight

Chorus

Fault line sunset, burning slow and gold

Every scar on this road is something we're not letting go

Hold my hand tight till the sky forgets where it ends

This is the only time I need — let it never end

Fault line sunset, we'll ride it out in the dark

Verse 2

Someone's headlights creep up slow behind us

Your palm on mine still counts every mile mark

The engine coughs and the dashboard clock ticks off its own hours

But for now we're just two ghosts floating sideways through downtown

Tires hum along the line that nobody else sees

We've got our whole lives waiting on that corner light —

You nod like you know exactly how I feel tonight

Pre-Chorus

So don't look back, don't pull your sleeve loose

We've got one more mile before they turn out the lights

Just breathe it in — every single minute's ours tonight

Chorus

Fault line sunset, burning slow and gold

Every scar on this road is something we're not letting go

Hold my hand tight till the sky forgets where it ends

This is the only time I need — let it never end

Fault line sunset, we'll ride it out in the dark

Bridge

Maybe every ending's just a fuse that catches fire

Maybe this whole block was always meant to burn so bright

I don't want safe, I don't want slow — just one more mile of this

This is all I'm asking for tonight

So keep your eyes on mine and your hand in mine — we own the sun now

Let it go out with a roar, not a whisper, not a sigh

Chorus

Fault line sunset, burning slow and gold

Every scar on this road is something we're not letting go

Hold my hand tight till the sky forgets where it ends

This is the only time I need — let it never end

Fault line sunset, we'll ride it out in the dark
