Fingerprints on Forever (upbeat)

[Verse 1] Dashboard clock lying by eleven minutes Your bare feet up where the glovebox finishes Cherry slush melting down your plastic cup You steal the last sip leavin me the straw chewed up Windows down, every field smells green Cicadas buzzing like a broken machine Late light keeps catching in the corner of your smile I miss the turn on purpose, add another mile [Chorus] We’re leaving fingerprints on forever Time snapped a picture of me and you Living like we can’t release the moment We danced till the timeline split in two Moving like the night escaped its measure The hours turn inward ’round me and you We’re leaving fingerprints on forever Time’s got a blip where we passed through [Verse 2 — smoothly sung with the same vocal tone, register, melodic phrasing & restrained delivery as Verse 1] Grocery cart waiting by the closed arcade You climbed in laughing, said, “Make it a getaway” One bad wheel pulling us hard to the curb You threw both hands up, never saying a word Sprinklers on, every painted line shined You lost one sandal and left it behind Lights clicked off across an empty field You took a bow, and somehow time stood still [Chorus] We’re leaving fingerprints on forever Time snapped a picture of me and you Living like we can’t release the moment We danced till the timeline split in two Moving like the night escaped its measure The hours turn inward ’round me and you We’re leaving fingerprints on forever Time’s got a blip where we passed through [Bridge — muted acoustic breakdown, drums nearly disappear, soft picked guitar, warm low synth underneath, intimate close-mic male vocal, low register, restrained delivery, simple melody] All of time found us tonight Two lives caught in the same small light The whole of time narrowed to two One lasting mark, me and you [Final Chorus] We’re leaving fingerprints on forever Time snapped a picture of me and you Living like we can’t release the moment We danced till the timeline split in two Moving like the night escaped its measure The hours turn inward ’round me and you We’re leaving fingerprints on forever Time’s got a blip where we passed through
