Reverie – Golden Lantern

Verse

Screen door slamming, engine cold

Denim jacket, seventeen years old

Cassette tape hissing through the dash

Fireflies flicker like a camera flash

Gravel dust behind the tail lights fade

Every backroad map we ever made

Bonfire sparks against the navy blue

Nothing mattered except me and you

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the bassline start to climb

Like we're chasing down the summer time

Something in the air says don't let go

Chorus

This is our reverie

Golden hour, running free

Windows down, the world's on fire

Chasing every young desire

Hearts still beating to the sun

This is where we come undone

Nothing but the memory

This is our reverie

Verse

Lake house shutters painted faded white

Diving off the rope swing into light

Radio tower humming on the hill

Speakers shaking, chest against the thrill

Sunburnt shoulders, sand between our toes

Every summer that the fast car knows

Polaroid pictures curling at the edge

Half a promise made on that back ledge

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the bassline start to climb

Like we're chasing down the summer time

Something in the air says don't let go

Chorus

This is our reverie

Golden hour, running free

Windows down, the world's on fire

Chasing every young desire

Hearts still beating to the sun

This is where we come undone

Nothing but the memory

This is our reverie

Bridge

Ten years gone, the gravel road's still there

Different faces breathing that same air

But when the bass drops low and the night turns blue

I'm back on that hood, still chasing you

Chorus

This is our reverie

Golden hour, running free

Windows down, the world's on fire

Chasing every young desire

Hearts still beating to the sun

This is where we come undone

Nothing but the memory

This is our reverie
