Supernova Sprint (Version 2)

Verse

Sun's cracking gold on the blacktop court

Summer sneakers squeak like a drumline chord

Sixteen and reckless, we don't count the cost

Chalk dust rising where the whistle's tossed

Sweat on my collarbone, salt and shine

Every heartbeat ticking double time

Hit the line and the whole block cheers

Nothing but June and a hundred gears

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the asphalt burning bright

Can you feel us catching all the light

Don't slow down, don't look behind

This is our one shot, we're running blind

Chorus

Supernova sprint, we're burning through July

Fireworks in our chest, we don't ask why

Fast and young and gold against the sky

Supernova sprint, we're built to fly

Sneakers slapping sparks off the ground

Supernova sprint, the loudest sound

We're alive, we're alive, we're alive

Supernova sprint tonight

Verse

Stadium lights buzzing, moths in the beam

Boombox rattling out a borrowed dream

Ice melts fast in a paper cup

Every lap we run, the crowd gets up

Track's still warm from the six o'clock heat

Popsicle stains on our dancing feet

Somebody's cousin's got the megaphone

We're twenty strong but we run alone

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the asphalt burning bright

Can you feel us catching all the light

Don't slow down, don't look behind

This is our one shot, we're running blind

Chorus

Supernova sprint, we're burning through July

Fireworks in our chest, we don't ask why

Fast and young and gold against the sky

Supernova sprint, we're built to fly

Sneakers slapping sparks off the ground

Supernova sprint, the loudest sound

We're alive, we're alive, we're alive

Supernova sprint tonight

Bridge

Someday this summer's gonna fold away

Into a photograph, a faded day

But right now the sun's still holding on

So let it burn until the night is gone

Right now, right now, we're the only light

Right now, right now, we ignite

Chorus

Supernova sprint, we're burning through July

Fireworks in our chest, we don't ask why

Fast and young and gold against the sky

Supernova sprint, we're built to fly

Sneakers slapping sparks off the ground

Supernova sprint, the loudest sound

We're alive, we're alive, we're alive

Supernova sprint tonight
