Hold Still for the Horizon (wersja 2)

Verse

Your phone's still on the table where we used to sit

The window's open a crack in your favorite shirt

Bare feet on the sill and the streetlight bleeding bright through it

You're holding the screen like you're waiting for a call

I've been sitting here counting every passing car

Wishing one of them was you coming back to go this far

Your keys are still in my pocket where they fell that night

Like you left something behind when we said goodbye

Pre-Chorus

So don't walk out of view just yet

Let me hold onto what's been lit

Don't turn your head for the horizon's glow

Hold still for a little longer, let me know

That I'm not losing you, it's just you leaving me

That this isn't over till you can see

Chorus

Hold still for the horizon

Let the whole town fade to gold

I don't want your headlights moving out of sight

Hold still for a little longer, keep the light

Every mile feels like forever when we're apart

But right here in my chest there's still a spark

So hold still for me just long enough to know

That you'll always be this bright from where I go

Verse

The clock on your car radio reads half past two

Your window's rolled down, the wind keeps playing it true

You're humming some old song like you used to when we were new

Like nothing's changed but everything is true

I'm standing here in these same worn-out shoes

Wishing every mile just felt as long and sweet as this last move

The streetlight's flickering now, casting shadows on the wall

Every passing car turns into a story about you after all

Pre-Chorus

So don't walk out of view just yet

Let me hold onto what's been lit

Don't turn your head for the horizon's glow

Hold still for a little longer, let me know

That I'm not losing you, it's just you leaving me

That this isn't over till you can see

Chorus

Hold still for the horizon

Let the whole town fade to gold

I don't want your headlights moving out of sight

Hold still for a little longer, keep the light

Every mile feels like forever when we're apart

But right here in my chest there's still a spark

So hold still for me just long enough to know

That you'll always be this bright from where I go

Bridge

I won't let the whole world turn your light down low

Not till you say it's time to let it go

Hold onto that ember until you're far enough away

Then let it shine like a beacon every day

That you kept mine burning for as long as it stayed

And now I'm counting all these passing cars in gray

Chorus

Hold still for the horizon

Let the whole town fade to gold

I don't want your headlights moving out of sight

Hold still for a little longer, keep the light

Every mile feels like forever when we're apart

But right here in my chest there's still a spark

So hold still for me just long enough to know

That you'll always be this bright from where I go
