Fires in the Hedges (Version 2)

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
