Gold Dust on Your Jacket (Version 2)

Verse

Taxi light flickers pink on the windowpane

Soda fizzes half a cup away

Five years of Sunday nights still hum in my chest

Counting every laugh I almost missed

Pre-Chorus

Something's rising up behind my eyes

Gold dust settling soft on your jacket sleeve tonight

It's like we're learning how to fall alive

Falling for the first time, second guess erased

Chorus

We used to be shadows, dancing in between

Now every step feels brand new again

Every beat's a promise I was never brave enough to keep

Tonight we burn like gold dust on your jacket sleeve

Verse

Someone's singing 'I'll remember' loud and clear

Speakers shaking loose what fear held dear

Old routines don't fit this collar or these hands

This is the hour that turns us into brand new plans

Pre-Chorus

Something's rising up behind my eyes

Gold dust settling soft on your jacket sleeve tonight

It's like we're learning how to fall alive

Falling for the first time, second guess erased

Chorus

We used to be shadows, dancing in between

Now every step feels brand new again

Every beat's a promise I was never brave enough to keep

Tonight we burn like gold dust on your jacket sleeve

Bridge

Maybe growing up means losing the map

Not losing each other, not that way at all

This is the hour the mirror finally breaks open wide

I don't need to be scared of who I'll turn out tonight

Chorus

We used to be shadows, dancing in between

Now every step feels brand new again

Every beat's a promise I was never brave enough to keep

Tonight we burn like gold dust on your jacket sleeve
