Chasing Crimson Skies (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete floor beneath my boots

Dust from last year's embers rising through the vents

I see the shadows where they used to hide

Every step feels lighter than before

Breathe it in and let the static go

Wipe the slate clean, make no promises now

We're running out of daylight anyway

So why hold back when the whole sky turns red?

This is how we learn to love again

Pre-Chorus

Feel the walls come crumbling down

Something's opening up inside the sound

Tell me do you hear it too?

We're breaking through into brand new blue

Chorus

Rise up, let it burn

Crimson skies behind us now

Turn our shadows into stars we've never known

Run with me until the dawn breaks loose on us now

No more hiding in this dark at all

I'm walking out of every single door I ever knew

Wings of gold where my hands used to be

Feel it burning off your skin like fire and heat

Every second feels too slow to take

We're running past the edge before we wake

This is how we learn to love again

Verse

Sirens fade into the hum of traffic below

Empty seats still holding our names from winter's snow

The mirror cracks but it don't break this time

Every scar becomes a constellation line

I see your shadow moving through mine like smoke on the breeze

Say goodbye to every version of me that stayed behind

This is not the ending, it's just the start.

Breathe it in and let the static go

Wipe the slate clean, make no promises now

Pre-Chorus

Feel the walls come crumbling down

Something's opening up inside the sound

Tell me do you hear it too?

We're breaking through into brand new blue

Chorus

Rise up, let it burn

Crimson skies behind us now

Turn our shadows into stars we've never known

Run with me until the dawn breaks loose on us now

No more hiding in this dark at all

I'm walking out of every single door I ever knew

Wings of gold where my hands used to be

Feel it burning off your skin like fire and heat

Every second feels too slow to take

We're running past the edge before we wake

This is how we learn to love again

Bridge

I don't need the name, I don't need the map

Just feel this heartbeat pulling us to what's next

The whole town is holding its breath for the sun

And I'm already gone, I've already won

Every night that we've ever known

It was just a doorway back home to the sky

Chorus

Rise up, let it burn

Crimson skies behind us now

Turn our shadows into stars we've never known

Run with me until the dawn breaks loose on us now

No more hiding in this dark at all

I'm walking out of every single door I ever knew

Wings of gold where my hands used to be

Feel it burning off your skin like fire and heat

Every second feels too slow to take

We're running past the edge before we wake

This is how we learn to love again
