Dust Becomes Our Name

Verse

Rooftop tiles hold the evening gold

Spices drying soft where shadows fold

You pull your shoulders back like you own the block

Every window lights up when I walk down the dock

You don't ask if I'm ready for this

Just take my hand and let the whole town miss us

Painted doors catch amber from above

Nobody's moving slow enough

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call a feeling that runs too fast

Is it sunrise or is it breaking glass

Tell me what your chest says when mine goes racing

Is it falling or is it finding its way

Chorus

Dust becomes our name the moment you touch my hand

Sky turns purple, then blue, then gold in demand

We're moving faster than any language can say

Dust becomes our name on this runaway day

Verse

Barefoot now through the open courtyard gate

Your collar pulls loose against your neck's heat

Palm trees sway to a rhythm nobody knows

Every brick on every building that we walk

You laugh so hard you're crying and I'm chasing after

Sweat gone salty before it even dries together

Streetlights flicker out but the color stays

This is how the whole town learns to pray

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call a feeling that runs too fast

Is it sunrise or is it breaking glass

Tell me what your chest says when mine goes racing

Is it falling or is it finding its way

Chorus

Dust becomes our name the moment you touch my hand

Sky turns purple, then blue, then gold in demand

We're moving faster than any language can say

Dust becomes our name on this runaway day

Bridge

Maybe chasing isn't running at all

Maybe it's just catching before we fall

I don't need to know what it's called tonight

Just hold my wrist through the golden light

Chorus

Dust becomes our name the moment you touch my hand

Sky turns purple, then blue, then gold in demand

We're moving faster than any language can say

Dust becomes our name on this runaway day
