Verse
Screen door slamming, sixteen and barefoot
Tar road shimmers where the bike tires skid
Fireflies caught in a jam jar, lid punched through
Waiting on the water tower, just us kids
Cousin's truck bed, radio hanging loose
Sparklers writing letters no one reads
Dock boards creaking under salt and juice
Whole summer stretched out like it's got no end
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the sun still climbing high
Like it knows we're never saying goodbye
Something wide is calling out our names
Chorus
Hold on to the horizon
Where the gold light never dies
Hands up, we're still rising
Painted wild across the sky
Every mile we ever ran on
Every star we set our eyes on
We were young, we were the reason
Hold on to the horizon
Verse
Gas station slushies melting down our wrists
Cassette tape wound with a pencil twist
County fair lights blur to a carousel hymn
Ferris wheel stuck right where the two worlds meet
Chalk drawn hopscotch fading on the street
Porch light on but nobody's calling us in
Barn dance echoes down the empty field
Every ordinary night feels like a win
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the sun still climbing high
Like it knows we're never saying goodbye
Something wide is calling out our names
Chorus
Hold on to the horizon
Where the gold light never dies
Hands up, we're still rising
Painted wild across the sky
Every mile we ever ran on
Every star we set our eyes on
We were young, we were the reason
Hold on to the horizon
Bridge
Twenty years from now I'll drive this road
Find the tower rusted, paint long gone
But I'll roll the windows down and know
Some part of me is still out there and young
The gravel dust, the engine hum
It never left, it just moved on
Chorus
Hold on to the horizon
Where the gold light never dies
Hands up, we're still rising
Painted wild across the sky
Every mile we ever ran on
Every star we set our eyes on
We were young, we were the reason
Hold on to the horizon
