Transcript

Sunlight comes creeping in
Illuminates our skin
We watch the day go by
Stories of all we did
It made me think of you
It made me think of you

Under a trillion stars
We danced on top of cars
Took pictures of the state
So far from where we are
They made me think of you
They made me think of you

Oh, lights go down in the moment
We're lost and found
I just want to be by your side
If these wings could fly
For the rest of our lives

I'm in the foreign state
My thoughts, they slip away
My words are leaving me
They caught an airplane
Because I thought of you
Just from the thought of you

Oh, lights go down in the moment
We're lost and found
I just want to be by your side
If these wings could fly

Oh damn, these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

If these wings could fly

Oh, lights go down in the moment
We're lost and found
I just want to be by your side
If these wings could fly

Oh damn, these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives
