Every Light We Kept

Verse

Gravel road still warm beneath our feet

Bikes thrown down where the tall grass meets

Midnight sun won't let the sky turn dark

Nineteen years old with a jump-start heart

Paper cups and a borrowed speaker

Every summer feels a little bit sweeter

Diving off the dock before we think

Salt and gasoline, the whole world pink

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising in your chest

Like we're never gonna rest

Like this version of us gets to stay

Chorus

We're every light we kept

Every promise that we never wrecked

Running gold through a field unswept

This is every light we kept

Young and loud, we don't forget

Hearts still humming, no regret

Every summer that we've left

Burns in every light we kept

Verse

Ferry horn calling out past the pier

Sunburned shoulders, one more year

We wrote our names on the water tower steel

Half of it's rust now, but it's still real

Radio static, a song we half know

Chasing the horizon before it goes

Sparklers dying in the tall wet sand

Somebody's laughing, I don't understand

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising in your chest

Like we're never gonna rest

Like this version of us gets to stay

Chorus

We're every light we kept

Every promise that we never wrecked

Running gold through a field unswept

This is every light we kept

Young and loud, we don't forget

Hearts still humming, no regret

Every summer that we've left

Burns in every light we kept

Bridge

Someday we'll be further down the road

Carrying this like it weighs nothing at all

Someday the kids we were will finally know

We were the flame, not just the fall

Chorus

We're every light we kept

Every promise that we never wrecked

Running gold through a field unswept

This is every light we kept

Young and loud, we don't forget

Hearts still humming, no regret

Every summer that we've left

Burns in every light we kept
