Gold Hour Halo (Version 2)

Verse

Five a.m. and the streetlights still hum

Coffee cold but I'm not done yet

Keys in my pocket, wallet full of receipts

Ninety bucks left after all the heat

Gas on my dashboard, radio on low

Half past the hour that the city knows

Pre-Chorus

Something's rising off the hood of this car

Every mile just a little farther from who we were

Hands up high like we already made it through

Breathe this gold in, let me catch it too

Chorus

I feel a gold hour halo pulling me over the edge

Every hard day got me closer than I was

Sunrise on my collarbone, engine's not tired at all

This is mine now, this is how we're gonna stand tall

Nothing left to prove, just the glow and the road ahead

Hold this feeling 'til it don't come back yet

Verse

Toll booth passing like it owes us a bill

Traffic thins out right before the hill

Empty coffee cup rolling on my seat

Sirens fade soft into something sweet

Neon's fading to amber then gold

Every shadow letting go of its hold

Pre-Chorus

Something's rising off the hood of this car

Every mile just a little farther from who we were

Hands up high like we already made it through

Breathe this gold in, let me catch it too

Chorus

I feel a gold hour halo pulling me over the edge

Every hard day got me closer than I was

Sunrise on my collarbone, engine's not tired at all

This is mine now, this is how we're gonna stand tall

Nothing left to prove, just the glow and the road ahead

Hold this feeling 'til it don't come back yet

Bridge

Maybe yesterday was just a bridge to cross

Today I'm floating on the other side of loss

No more counting what it cost me, no regrets

Just the warmth where my shadow used to be

I wasn't built for the quiet, never learned to hide

This is the light they said would leave me behind

Chorus

I feel a gold hour halo pulling me over the edge

Every hard day got me closer than I was

Sunrise on my collarbone, engine's not tired at all

This is mine now, this is how we're gonna stand tall

Nothing left to prove, just the glow and the road ahead

Hold this feeling 'til it don't come back yet
