LYRIC FOR SALE

By Grayson Johnson

We sit on the hood of your car at night

Counting stars we don’t understand

You laugh like the world is ours to write

Like forever fits in your hand
I feel it there in the space between

Every word we don’t quite say

Like a spark in a broken machine

That could light, but might just fade away

Pre-Chorus


You move a little closer, I hold my breath

Hearts running faster than our heads

Chorus


We’re almost, not yet

Right here on the edge of it

Close enough to feel the heat

But too young to match the beat
If I reach, will it break?

If I stay, will it stay?

We’re dancing in the in-between

Of what we want and what’s unseen 

We’re almost….not yet

Verse 2


Your hand brushes mine by accident

But neither of us pulls away

There’s a line and it’s heaven-sent

And we’re tempted to cross it every day
I see the future in your eyes

But it’s blurry and undefined

it’s a dream but only if we had more time


Pre-Chorus


You whisper “what if,”
And I shake my head

Some things are better
left undone and unsaid

Chorus


We’re almost, not yet

Right here on the edge of it

Close enough to feel the heat

But too young to match the beat

If I reach, will it break?

If I stay, will it stay?

We’re dancing in the in-between

Of what we want and what we need

We’re almost… not yet

Bridge


Maybe in another year

Or another life, we’d disappear

Into something that we dream about
But it’s just a dream I fear


Final Chorus


We’re almost, not yet

still innocence

Writing chapters we won’t read

But we’ll never forget

If I reach, will it break?

If I stay, will it stay?

We’re holding onto something real

But letting it get anyway

We’re almost… not yet

So we sit on the hood of your car at night

Two hearts that just can’t begin

Close enough to touch the light

But not ready to step in
