Dancing in the Desert

[Verse 1]
Dust on my shoes
Heat on my tongue
Sky bending blue
Like it’s coming undone
You trace your name
In the red, cracked ground
Every little letter
Spins my head around
[Chorus]
We’re dancing in the desert
Bare feet in the burning sand
You’re laughing like a fever
Pulling at my shaking hands
The horizon melts in color
And the sun forgets to set
We’re dancing in the desert
Like the world just hit reset
[Verse 2]
Your hair in the wind
A wild, gold flame
You say, “Stay lost”
I forget my name
Mirage after mirage
But your touch feels real
Every swirling shadow
Slides under your heel
[Chorus]
We’re dancing in the desert
Bare feet in the burning sand
You’re laughing like a fever
Pulling at my shaking hands
The horizon melts in color
And the sun forgets to set
We’re dancing in the desert
Like the world just hit reset
[Bridge]
If this is a dream
Don’t wake me yet (oh no)
Let the cracked earth sing
Where our footprints met
Every scattered star
Falling through your eyes
We’re weightless on the edge
Of a painted sky
[Chorus]
We’re dancing in the desert
Bare feet in the burning sand
You’re laughing like a fever
Pulling at my shaking hands
The horizon melts in color
And the sun forgets to set
We’re dancing in the desert
I’m not coming back just yet
