Hollow Bones and Gold Light (Version 2)

Verse

Dust on my shoulders from the drive home long

Sun setting over the porch where we used to be strong

Your shadow crossing mine across the worn wooden floor

You're still holding my jacket with one hand loose

The other's wrapped around your waist like it don't want to lose

Pre-Chorus

Is this goodbye for real or just the same old song?

Can I stay a little longer till the dark comes along?

Chorus

Hollow bones and gold light, we're both still on fire

Every sunset makes me want you one more time

I know what to say but my heart is full of air

Hollow bones and gold light, take me home, take me there

Verse 2

Porch swing creaking under two feet gone still

Neighborhood crickets singing like they're asking for a thrill

You run your thumb across the collar I left behind

Same soft spot where my breath used to land on you in time

Pre-Chorus

Is this goodbye for real or just the same old song?

Can I stay a little longer till the dark comes along?

Chorus

Hollow bones and gold light, we're both still on fire

Every sunset makes me want you one more time

I know what to say but my heart is full of air

Hollow bones and gold light, take me home, take me there

Bridge

Not the same four walls, maybe not the same two hearts

Just the same old question, where are we starting from?

I don't need a map or a promise to stay

Sunsets always bring us right back here today

Here with you in gold and dust and thinning light

We're still on fire even when it feels like night

Chorus

Hollow bones and gold light, we're both still on fire

Every sunset makes me want you one more time

I know what to say but my heart is full of air

Hollow bones and gold light, take me home, take me there
