Still Standing Taller

Verse

Sunburnt shoulders, the pier lights hum

Cherry snow cones melting on my thumb

Screen door summer, sixteen and free

Salt in my hair, you racing me

Boardwalk boards creak under bare feet

Every dumb joke feels like a победа— feels complete

Pre-Chorus

Do we know how good this is

Do we know we won't forget

Standing here on the edge of it

Chorus

We're still standing taller

Backs to the water, faces to the sun

Nineteen and fearless, we're only just begun

Still standing taller

Every wave that broke us built us stronger

Young and golden, we're the only ones

Verse

Ferris wheel turning, the sky burns red

Popsicle sticks where our names get read

Carved in a bench down by the shore

Promise we'll come back, always more

Fireflies catch in an old mason jar

Nothing feels closer than where we are

Pre-Chorus

Do we know how good this is

Do we know we won't forget

Standing here on the edge of it

Chorus

We're still standing taller

Backs to the water, faces to the sun

Nineteen and fearless, we're only just begun

Still standing taller

Every wave that broke us built us stronger

Young and golden, we're the only ones

Bridge

Someday these streets will feel so small

Someday we'll trade the heat for fall

But right now the tide is ours to hold

Right now we're young, right now we're gold

Chorus

We're still standing taller

Backs to the water, faces to the sun

Nineteen and fearless, we're only just begun

Still standing taller

Every wave that broke us built us stronger

Young and golden, we're the only ones
