Rust Never Sleeps（版本 2）

Verse

Fireflies tracing long diagonals low

Guitar wire against the cheekbone

One foot off the curb, one in your hand

We're counting down by the number on our skin

The whole sky turns amber and we don't move at all

Salt air and dust hanging underneath the wheels

Every sunset's a countdown, you and me alone

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it climbing higher with every mile?

Something wide is calling us out from behind these hills

Can you taste that gold light burning in your throat

It never leaves once we catch its fire, I swear

Hold on to this, hold on tight

Before the stars come back and steal our light

We're still running, we're still alive

Right here with the fading light

Chorus

Rust never sleeps, rust never dies

This gold light in your chest is not goodbye

Keep it burning, keep it lit

Hold on to this until it's gone

Hold on tight till morning comes again

And that's when we learn how to be

Alive twice, once for the sun and once for the night

Verse

Kerosene lanterns flicker across your face

Crickets in the weeds start turning blue

Your hand finds mine through a window open wide

The whole world is a countdown till you turn eighteen

Bicycle tires humming where the tar gives out

We don't need a map, we just follow sound

Every sunset's a promise that tomorrow comes around

This one feels different, it feels like home

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it climbing higher with every mile?

Something wide is calling us out from behind these hills

Can you taste that gold light burning in your throat

It never leaves once we catch its fire, I swear

Hold on to this, hold on tight

Before the stars come back and steal our light

We're still running, we're still alive

Right here with the fading light

Chorus

Rust never sleeps, rust never dies

This gold light in your chest is not goodbye

Keep it burning, keep it lit

Hold on to this until it's gone

Hold on tight till morning comes again

And that's when we learn how to be

Alive twice, once for the sun and once for the night

Bridge

Let the stars come back

I'll still hold your hand

Even in the dark

This light stays inside me till I'm old

Chorus

Rust never sleeps, rust never dies

This gold light in your chest is not goodbye

Keep it burning, keep it lit

Hold on to this until it's gone

Hold on tight till morning comes again

And that's when we learn how to be

Alive twice, once for the sun and once for the night
