Spokes of Gold

Описание: Tires hum on the old brick road
Your laces loose
My heart wide open
Backpacks swing as the daylight folds
You laugh so hard
My balance broken

You ride ahead
Then circle back
Skid a heart shape in the gravel track
I hide the words behind my grin
Afraid to lose what we’re in

We’re riding bicycles under the sunset
Gold on your hair
I can’t forget
Breathing summer
Tasting the wind
Trying to say what I’ve kept in
If I could freeze this evening glow
You’d hear the one thing you don’t know
As the sky turns cotton and rose
I’m falling
And you’re so close

Chain sings low as the shadows grow
Your shoelace drags
You never notice
We race the light to the corner store
Two sodas shared and secret focus

You steal my cap
You steal my calm
Draw crooked stars on my open palm
My chest is loud
My courage small
I almost let it spill and fall

We’re riding bicycles under the sunset
Gold on your hair
I can’t forget
Breathing summer
Tasting the wind
Trying to say what I’ve kept in
If I could freeze this evening glow
You’d hear the one thing you don’t know
As the sky turns cotton and rose
I’m falling
And you’re so close

At the top of Miller Hill
We stop
Feet on the ground
But it still feels like we’re flying
You say
“Make a wish before the sun drops”
So I say your name
And I finally stop lying

I tell you softly
“You’re my home”
All of these years
I’ve never known
How to say it till right now
You just smile and whisper
“Somehow
I’ve always known”

We’re riding bicycles under the sunset
Your hand in mine
I won’t forget
Breathing summer
Hearts on the wind
Nothing left for me to keep in
If I could keep this evening glow
I’d play it back so you still know
As the sky turns cotton and rose
I love you
And you’re so close
