Verse 1
Dusty county roads that hum a low blue light
Fifteen turning in the gravel tonight
Cigarette smoke curled above your shoulderbone
We laughed so hard our stomachs kept us down
Pre-Chorus
Did we know we weren't ready yet?
Was it enough for you to forget
Chorus
Fires in the hedges, burning like they mean something
Fires in the hedges, flickering wild and green
Verse 2
Grandfather's old swing creaked like a tired spine
Your fingers caught mine at the end of every line
The screen door slammed when your mom said it was time
We promised to cross over together one more time
Pre-Chorus
Did we know we weren't ready yet?
Was it enough for you to forget
Chorus
Fires in the hedges, burning like they mean something
Fires in the hedges, flickering wild and green
Bridge
We left the sparklers lit by the drive-way
And I watched them dance above your shoulders like a prayer
Outro
Fires in the hedges, fading low and gold
Your hand let go, but I still feel it told
