[Verse 1] This burntout city Got ash on its name Corner store windows Hold yesterday's rain You walk slow through it Like you know the score Boot heels tapping On a cracked sidewalk floor [Pre-Chorus] And the sky hangs low Like it never got over us Every fence line bent Every heart turned to rust Still I see you there On the edge of the glow Under Watermelon Mountains Where the hard winds blow [Chorus] Under Watermelon Mountains We were hard to break Under Watermelon Mountains We were fire and wake Hold me here Hold me here Under Watermelon Mountains [Verse 2] Now the diner neon Is just a dead red bruise Old hands at the counter Wear their coffee-stained blues The bus stop poster Peels like a long lost prayer But your laugh comes back Like it never left the air [Pre-Chorus] And the sky hangs low Like it never got over us Every fence line bent Every heart turned to rust Still I see you there On the edge of the glow Under Watermelon Mountains Where the hard winds blow [Chorus] Under Watermelon Mountains We were hard to break Under Watermelon Mountains We were fire and wake Hold me here Hold me here Under Watermelon Mountains [Bridge] If this place goes under Let it take the pain We can name the embers We can wear the flame One last look back At the dust and chrome Then we climb that shadow Like a road back home [Chorus] Under Watermelon Mountains We were hard to break Under Watermelon Mountains We were fire and wake Hold me here Hold me here Under Watermelon Mountains
