The Fire Holds Us (Version 2)

Intro

Fingers on the rail

Smoke in my eyes

Verse 1 – male vocal

Last train's gone, but I don't care

Barefoot on the dock, no shoes, no weight

Skyline breaking into color and haze

Your hand finds mine like it knows what's at stake

Pre-Chorus

So tell me how this ends

Is it sunset or forever?

Chorus – full vocal

I'm standing on the edge of something I don't know yet

Every fear is burning in the fire below my feet

I'm learning how to let go, learn how to fly with this fall

This is all we've got — a highway, you and me, nothing at all

Verse 2

Radio static turning into stars

Your laugh cuts loud through the empty cars

Every stoplight blinking red then gold

I don't need tomorrow if tonight stays warm

Pre-Chorus

So tell me how this ends

Is it sunset or forever?

Chorus – full vocal

I'm standing on the edge of something I don't know yet

Every fear is burning in the fire below my feet

I'm learning how to let go, learn how to fly with this fall

This is all we've got — a highway, you and me, nothing at all

Bridge – stripped vocal

Maybe falling's just another way of flying

Maybe forever starts right here tonight

No map, no name for what it feels like now

Just your hand in mine, the whole world turning around

Chorus – full vocal

I'm standing on the edge of something I don't know yet

Every fear is burning in the fire below my feet

I'm learning how to let go, learn how to fly with this fall

This is all we've got — a highway, you and me, nothing at all
