Sun Running Down

Sun running down on my dashboard

Left my worries in the backseat, last tour

Phone on mute, I’m out of that chat war

Windows cracked, let the warm air fast-forward

Traffic lights stretch, feeling half bored

Till I catch your name on that cracked screen

You say, “Pull up, I’m on that back porch”

Now my heart’s doing laps like a track meet

Sun running down, we ain’t done yet

Ice in the cup and a warm neck

Laugh till we lose what we upset

We forget, we forget

Sun running down, but it feels right

Gold on your face in the half-light

If this is all that we get tonight

I’m alright, I’m alright (yeah)

You in a hoodie and house shoes

Bare feet tapping on the old wood

You say my name like a soft tune

Got me stuck, got me so good

We trade stories that we never post

The stuff we hide when the page loads

You lean in like you need it close

Say, “Stay till the sky goes dark, though”

Sun running down, we ain’t done yet

Ice in the cup and a warm neck

Laugh till we lose what we upset

We forget, we forget

Sun running down, but it feels right

Gold on your face in the half-light

If this is all that we get tonight

I’m alright, I’m alright (oh yeah)

Yeah, we don’t need big plans

Just your small hands on my T-shirt

Let the day fade out slow

Let the old hurt, just reverse

If tomorrow hits too loud

We can dodge it for a while

Chasing after every second

Of this low, lazy smile

Sun running down, we ain’t done yet

Ice in the cup and a warm neck

Laugh till we lose what we upset

We forget, we forget

Sun running down, but it feels right

Gold on your face in the half-light

If this is all that we get tonight

I’m alright, I’m alright (hey)

Sun running down, but it feels right

Yeah, with you, with you tonight
