Verse
Screen door slamming, six a.m. haze
Sneakers untied, cutting through the maze
Of chain-link fences and sprinklers hissing
Left a note on the counter, said we won't be missing
This town's a shoebox, we've outgrown the lid
Every window's a rerun of everything we did
Turned the radio dial til the static broke clean
Rolled the windows down, let the morning in between
Pre-Chorus
So tell me what we're waiting for
The tank is full, there's an open door
We used to burn just standing still
Chorus
We were sparks once, catching on the wind
Now we're wildfire, we won't be hemmed in
Two lit matches on a two-lane road
Watch us go, watch us go, watch us go
We were sparks once, quiet in the dark
Now the whole sky's burning where we start
Nothing left here we can't let go
Watch us go, watch us go, watch us go
Verse
Diner booth vinyl, sticking to my knee
You're drawing our route on a napkin, laughing free
Said forget the highway signs, we'll make our own
Every mile's a heartbeat we've never known
Truck stop coffee, bitter, black, and hot
Counting up the towns we're glad we're not
Dashboard lighter, glowing amber-red
We left the porch light burning back home instead
Pre-Chorus
So tell me what we're waiting for
The tank is full, there's an open door
We used to burn just standing still
Chorus
We were sparks once, catching on the wind
Now we're wildfire, we won't be hemmed in
Two lit matches on a two-lane road
Watch us go, watch us go, watch us go
We were sparks once, quiet in the dark
Now the whole sky's burning where we start
Nothing left here we can't let go
Watch us go, watch us go, watch us go
Bridge
Maybe we don't know where the road ends
Maybe that's the only truth that we can bend
But I'd rather burn out chasing something true
Than sit here going quiet, going gray, without you
Chorus
We were sparks once, catching on the wind
Now we're wildfire, we won't be hemmed in
Two lit matches on a two-lane road
Watch us go, watch us go, watch us go
We were sparks once, quiet in the dark
Now the whole sky's burning where we start
So light it up, there's no turning slow
Watch us go, watch us go, watch us go
