Gold on the Fault Line (Version 2)

Verse

Neon hums low through the floorboards

Your hand finds mine under the tablecloth

Cigarette smoke curling past your lips

We're the only ones who still believe

Every city has a fault line waiting

Every goodbye's just a heartbeat running thin

Pre-Chorus

So what do we say when the lights come up

What do we keep and what do we let go

Is it love or is it just the glow

Somewhere between goodbye and I'm gone

Tell me why this feels like falling not flying

Chorus

We're gold on the fault line, we're catching it alive tonight

Your voice cuts through static, I hear you in the dark of light

We're gold on the fault line, burning slow as a flame

This is the moment that's going to carry us through the rain

Verse 2

Taxi lights blur into one long ribbon

Your jacket's open wide enough for me

I'm counting the seconds like they're currency

Every minute we own before you leave

The city hums on, doesn't notice the weight

Of two hearts suspended right off the ground

Pre-Chorus

So what do we say when the lights come up

What do we keep and what do we let go

Is it love or is it just the glow

Somewhere between goodbye and I'm gone

Tell me why this feels like falling not flying

Chorus

We're gold on the fault line, we're catching it alive tonight

Your voice cuts through static, I hear you in the dark of light

We're gold on the fault line, burning slow as a flame

This is the moment that's going to carry us through the rain

Bridge

Maybe it's not goodbye at all, maybe it's just a fuse

Maybe this is what we call falling into something true

So I'm holding onto you like you're the tide

Not letting go no matter how long the road gets wide

Chorus

We're gold on the fault line, we're catching it alive tonight

Your voice cuts through static, I hear you in the dark of light

We're gold on the fault line, burning slow as a flame

This is the moment that's going to carry us through the rain
