Sunburnt Horizon

Gold on the dashboard,

rain in the heat Your jacket on my shoulder,

salt on my teeth We moved through the fairground after the ride

Smiling like the leaving hadn't opened wide (ooh)

If the night could stay folded

Under your name

I would keep it unbroken

I would keep it the same

(ahhhh) We were bright for a minute

Then gone with the tide

I still feel you in it

When the warm cars pass by (ooh)

Bare feet on concrete,

a cup gone warm

Your laugh in the stairwell

before the storm

We promised the morning

would never turn grey

Now every clear sky

carries your face away (ooh)

Every window burns gold

Then the color lets go

I keep reaching for home

In a place we can't know

(ahhhh) We were bright for a minute

Then gone with the tide I still feel you in it

When the warm cars pass by

(ooh, ooh)

I kept the ticket

Folded in blue

Not for the ending

Just proof it was true (ooh)

We were bright for a minute

Then gone with the tide I still feel you in it

When the warm cars pass by

Stay there, stay there

Where the water turns white (ooh)
