Lyrics
Description
We burn in color, we won't fade We burn in color, we won't fade Glitter on our sleeves, our own renegade, We hold the light — together unafraid.
We burn in color, we won't fade Glitter on our sleeves, our own renegade, We hold the light — together unafraid.
Neon streetlight on the wet pavement,
Your laugh cuts clean through the midnight rain
Stained glass sunrise on the dashboard flickers
Worn denim sleeves smelling like our last rain
Lean in close, count my heartbeats slow,
Subway home beneath our shadowed glow
Breath on the window draws a crooked line
Tiny maps of every place we stole in time
We burn in color, we won't fade
We burn in color, we won't fade
Neon confetti out of midnight parade
Hands are tight while the city plays our parade
City cafe steam, a laugh across a crowded room
A cigarette ember like a comet's tiny bloom
Calendar corners folded, let you trace the dates
A rooftop promise spreaded through the open gates
Softly now, let the bass breathe in
Every scar a line where story begins
Your shoulders a harbor, my restless tide
The skyline keeps the secret that we can't hide
We burn in color, we won't fade
We burn in color, we won't fade
Bright as stained glass where the morning invades
We keep lighting rooms with the colors we've made
When the lights go low and the loud world frays
When headlines tell us how to spend our days
I remember small things, your chipped mug by the sink
How your laugh would catch me before I could sink
If the night seals our edges and the map erases mine
We'll paint a new skyline with the sparks we find
Just your breath and mine, simple and plain
A single note that folds back into the rain
We burn in color, we won't fade
We burn in color, we won't fade
Glitter on our sleeves, our own renegade
We hold the light together unafraid
We burn in color
We burn
We Burn in Color
