Daylight

Verse

Screen door slaps behind us, seventeen and barefoot

Gravel driveway sting but we don't care at all

Radio's cutting static through the truck bed

Your sunburnt shoulder leaning on the wall

Popsicle sticks stacked up on the dashboard

Sprinkler running circles on the lawn

We got nowhere to be till the fireflies show up

Counting down the hours till they're gone

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it slipping

Like the sun behind the trees

Every gold hour spilling

Through my fingers, through the leaves

Chorus

We're chasing daylight, daylight

Racing the sun down the county line

Chasing daylight, daylight

Trying to make this feel like it's not our last time

Hearts wide open, windows down

We won't slow down till the dark comes around

So we're chasing daylight, daylight

Chasing daylight

Verse

Gas station slushies melting in the console

Your hand out the window catching all that air

Zip line rope swing, lake water on our ankles

Nobody's watching, nobody's scared

Polaroid pictures curling in the shoebox

Ticket stub from the drive-in on Fifth

Every little thing feels bigger cause we know it

Won't stay this way, won't stay like this

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it slipping

Like the sun behind the trees

Every gold hour spilling

Through my fingers, through the leaves

Chorus

We're chasing daylight, daylight

Racing the sun down the county line

Chasing daylight, daylight

Trying to make this feel like it's not our last time

Hearts wide open, windows down

We won't slow down till the dark comes around

So we're chasing daylight, daylight

Chasing daylight

Bridge

Maybe we don't stop it

Maybe we just hold it tighter

Twenty years from now I'll swear

The whole town caught on fire

It was you, it was August

It was everything all at once

So let the summer keep on burning

Long after it's gone

Chorus

We're chasing daylight, daylight

Racing the sun down the county line

Chasing daylight, daylight

Trying to make this feel like it's not our last time

Hearts wide open, windows down

We won't slow down till the dark comes around

So we're chasing daylight, daylight

Chasing daylight
