You pulled up in that beat up car
Blasting songs like we were stars
Sunset pouring through the rearview glass
Like the world was ours but it moved too fast
Bare feet on the dashboard
Laughing like we've done this before
Every second felt like forever
Till we hit the line between never and never again
You said this won't last but we held on tight
Pretending golden hour could stretch the night
Now it's a golden hour goodbye
Fading light and your hand slipping out of mine
We were something burning bright
But even sunsets lose their fight
We said see you soon but we meant this is the end
Some stories don't get told again
We turned the page but didn't read it
Left the words unspoken hearts undefeated
If I could freeze that sky I swear I would
Right before the light disappeared for good
You kissed me slow like time stood still
But nothing ever can no matter how it feels
Now it's a golden hour goodbye
Fading light and your hand slipping out of mine
We were something burning bright
But even sunsets lose their fight
We said see you soon but we meant this is the end
Some stories don't get told again
Maybe we'll meet in another life
Under different stars a different sky
But for now we drive away
In separate cars separate lanes
Now it's a golden hour goodbye
Last look back through teary eyes
We were young we were wild
We had love for just a while
And if I ever pass that road again
I'll remember where we'd been
