Through the Noise – Electric Willow

Verse

Gravel road, the windows down

Radio static from a fading town

Popsicle sticks and a melting hour

July sun stinging like a summer shower

Your bike thrown down in the tall grass bed

Cassette tape spinning in my head

Sixteen years and we don't know yet

How fast this all runs out

Pre-Chorus

Can we bottle up the heat somehow

Hold it in our hands right now

Before it slips between our fingers

Chorus

We're young and gold and burning fast

Through the noise we're built to last

Every second wide awake

Nothing here we'd take back

We're young and gold, the summer's ours

Through the noise, we're chasing stars

Let it ring, let it break

Through the noise, we made it last

Verse

Sparkler smoke and a screen door slam

Fireflies caught in an empty jam

Water tower painted with our names

Nothing here will ever look the same

Truck bed rattling down the county line

Half past nine and we're still feeling fine

Every summer swears it's the last one

But we don't believe it yet

Pre-Chorus

Can we bottle up the heat somehow

Hold it in our hands right now

Before it slips between our fingers

Chorus

We're young and gold and burning fast

Through the noise we're built to last

Every second wide awake

Nothing here we'd take back

We're young and gold, the summer's ours

Through the noise, we're chasing stars

Let it ring, let it break

Through the noise, we made it last

Bridge

Years from now I'll hear this song

And know exactly where I belong

Back on that road, the engine humming

Some things fade but this keeps coming

Back to me, back to you

Every gold thing we ever knew

Chorus

We're young and gold and burning fast

Through the noise we're built to last

Every second wide awake

Nothing here we'd take back

We're young and gold, the summer's ours

Through the noise, we're chasing stars

Let it ring, let it break

Through the noise, we made it last
