Burn in the Haze (Version 2)

Verse

Faded diner sign still flickers on

Same four tables since before I started to be a man

We used to sneak past curfew lines through the back

Barely eighteen and already out of track

Your hair was sun-bleached from that long summer drive

You said you knew this road like your name, not a sign

I wrote my number on the hood with lipstick white

Promised we'd meet again come sunrise

Pre-Chorus

Now the neon's dying in the morning light

But the hum still vibrates through the concrete tonight

Chorus

Burn it down before the dawn comes up

We were built for one more run, not one more step back

Sneak past the gates, tear up the page

Hold on tight 'til we turn to flame

Burn in the haze, burn in the haze

Never look back at the life that we'd rather erase

So let's steal this night before it turns to grey

We were built for one more run, not one more day

Verse

Your momma's garden still blooming through the fence

The same four daisies you drew on the diner counter then

I've got your silver locket pressed against my skin

Every beat of this engine is a promise we made in the din

Pre-Chorus

Now the neon's dying in the morning light

But the hum still vibrates through the concrete tonight

Chorus

Burn it down before the dawn comes up

We were built for one more run, not one more step back

Sneak past the gates, tear up the page

Hold on tight 'til we turn to flame

Burn in the haze, burn in the haze

Never look back at the life that we'd rather erase

So let's steal this night before it turns to grey

We were built for one more run, not one more day

Bridge

No regrets if the fire takes us whole

No apologies when the engine starts to roll

This isn't over just 'cause the streetlights turn bright

We're still running out of sight and into the light

Chorus

Burn it down before the dawn comes up

We were built for one more run, not one more step back

Sneak past the gates, tear up the page

Hold on tight 'til we turn to flame

Burn in the haze, burn in the haze

Never look back at the life that we'd rather erase

So let's steal this night before it turns to grey

We were built for one more run, not one more day
