The pavement was a ghost town, just shadows in the rain
I was getting used to living with a quiet kind of pain
Then you stepped through the static, like a frequency found
And suddenly the silence was a holy kind of sound
I used to count the seconds just to watch them slip away
But now I’m chasing minutes just to beg for them to stay.
(Chorus)
Met you in the gray, now my sky is painted bright
But I’m still burning just to keep you in my light
It’s a heavy kind of heaven, it’s a beautiful weight
To hold onto the sun before it decides to fade
Yeah, the colors are screaming where the world used to bleed
You’re the only flicker of the fire that I need.
(Bridge)
I’m terrified of sundown, of the charcoal and the ash
Of waking up to find out that the lightning didn't last
So I’ll pour every heartbeat like fuel on the floor
To keep the shadows from knocking at the door.
