Copper Wire and Sunlight 2

Verse

Dust on your collarbone where the morning sun hits high

Fingerprints in grease from a long-ago drive

I remember you laughing when I let out all my air

We were chasing every single color of the dawn up there

Your eyes turned amber like the streetlights that still shine

And I swear I heard your heart beat right on time

Pre-Chorus

Hold me closer to the copper wire

This city's burning down but we're not on fire

Hold me here and never let it go

Or we'll be lost in all this smoke, alone and slow

I don't wanna lose another sunrise like we used to do

Tell me what you need me for tonight

Chorus

Copper wire humming through the dark

Sunlight's climbing up your collarbone, leaving sparks

We were running out of time but I found it here with you

So hold me close and let this light shine right through

I don't wanna lose another sunrise like we used to do

Hold on tight and watch the whole town turn gold

Verse 2

I remember how we'd dance in a parking lot under neon

Sweat and cigarette smoke spinning round us in a thousand threads

Your hand found mine out of nowhere in the crowd

And for one second, none of this mattered at all

You were my wildflower in a sea of stone

The only thing I ever felt truly home

Pre-Chorus

Hold me closer to the copper wire

This city's burning down but we're not on fire

Hold me here and never let it go

Or we'll be lost in all this smoke, alone and slow

I don't wanna lose another sunrise like we used to do

Tell me what you need me for tonight

Chorus

Copper wire humming through the dark

Sunlight's climbing up your collarbone, leaving sparks

We were running out of time but I found it here with you

So hold me close and let this light shine right through

I don't wanna lose another sunrise like we used to do

Hold on tight and watch the whole town turn gold

Bridge

Let's not waste a single second of what we have left

Let the whole world burn around us if that's where it's headed

Just keep your hand in mine and I swear to you, this is home

I'll never let go till the day turns white as stone

Sunrise is coming whether we're ready or not

So watch me shine and don't look back

Chorus

Copper wire humming through the dark

Sunlight's climbing up your collarbone, leaving sparks

We were running out of time but I found it here with you

So hold me close and let this light shine right through

I don't wanna lose another sunrise like we used to do

Hold on tight and watch the whole town turn gold

Outro

Copper wire humming through the dark

Sunlight climbing up your collarbone, leaving sparks

Hold on tight, sunshine coming now
