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
