Verse 1
Cracked open on the hood of my car
Dust in the air like it's been here since the start
Neon pink and a half-empty Coke bottle on the backseat
I've got your sweatshirt wrapped around my shoulders where I can feel
Your laughter in every bend, in every yellow light
We chased the setting sun down 12 blocks of gravel tonight
And now it’s just us, alone with the stars we don’t name
Every single window on the whole block is painted white
But I still see your smile like a flashlight shining through
Pre-Chorus
So tell me how long till you come back again
Tell me if this feeling stays
Am I holding onto something that's already thin
Or is it here to stay
Chorus
I'm caught in the blue and it won't let go
Dusty sunset, dusty heart beating slow
Gold hour running like we used to run
Every single window painted white but you are not leaving now
We're holding every second like a door we can't close
Sunset on the water, sunset on our skin
Verse 2
Salt in my hair, salt on your collarbone
A whole row of empty houses humming with our song
There’s one porch swing that creaks just right where you used to sit
I still climb up there and wait for a shadow
Bass is bleeding down the alleyway like it's bleeding from me
And I don’t care because we’re burning off the static in the air
Every star that twinkles looks like something you made
In your laughter, in the way you keep coming back
I think maybe the whole world’s been painted white just so we can see every color we ever knew
Pre-Chorus
So tell me how long till you come back again
Tell me if this feeling stays
Am I holding onto something that's already thin
Or is it here to stay
Chorus
I'm caught in the blue and it won't let go
Dusty sunset, dusty heart beating slow
Gold hour running like we used to run
Every single window painted white but you are not leaving now
We're holding every second like a door we can't close
Sunset on the water, sunset on our skin
Bridge
I don’t know if it’s forever or just one summer
But I think maybe that's alright
Maybe what’s real isn’t the hours in the calendar
Maybe it’s just the way you look at me tonight
So let the whole world turn to white
Let us keep on burning like this
Chorus
I'm caught in the blue and it won't let go
Dusty sunset, dusty heart beating slow
Gold hour running like we used to run
Every single window painted white but you are not leaving now
We're holding every second like a door we can't close
Sunset on the water, sunset on our skin
