Wildflower Fire (Version 2)

Verse

Board shorts torn from the second time I slid

Salt still drying on my collarbone tonight

Radio crackling through a tape in the dash

Your thumb tracing circles round your wrist like it's mine to find

Ferris wheel lights flickering gold and blue

I'm seventeen and nothing could ever stop this feeling too

You laughed so hard you snorted coffee out your nose

I thought that was the most beautiful thing I'd ever known

Every summer day feels long enough to save you

Someday I'll prove it, someday we're going somewhere new

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it catching, this fire low in our bellies?

Something's breaking loose like a flower through concrete

I don't know what tomorrow holds but right now I'm free

Chorus

We're the wildflower fire that no one thought we'd be

Spinning out of control and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else

Every summer night is ours, every song on repeat

Wildflower fire burning down the highway with you and me

Verse

You stole my baseball cap and ran through a sprinkler system

Water spraying everywhere like it was champagne instead

We hid behind trash cans in the back of the arcade

Laughing so hard I had to hold onto a wall to keep my balance

Your little sister kept trying to get you to dance with her again

I pretended not to notice, just watched you watch me like you mean it

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it catching, this fire low in our bellies?

Something's breaking loose like a flower through concrete

I don't know what tomorrow holds but right now I'm free

Chorus

We're the wildflower fire that no one thought we'd be

Spinning out of control and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else

Every summer night is ours, every song on repeat

Wildflower fire burning down the highway with you and me

Bridge

Maybe someday this will all just fade like a postcard in your drawer

But right now the radio's blaring, headlights catching water on the floor

I'm not chasing forever — I'm just chasing tonight

And you, wildflower, you're the only thing that feels like home

Hold my hand through the smoke and let this be our own

Chorus

We're the wildflower fire that no one thought we'd be

Spinning out of control and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else

Every summer night is ours, every song on repeat

Wildflower fire burning down the highway with you and me
