Go Wild, Sky

[Intro] Phoenix heat on the pavement Black clouds painted on a souvenir wall Quiet Sky in a borrowed jacket Nobody knew she’d answer the call [Verse 1] She left her careful voice at the motel Tied her boots and crossed the dust Her friends said, “Stay close, Sky, don’t vanish” She laughed, “Tonight you’ll have to trust” On the hill where the green grass bends She found a boy with a crooked grin One quick kiss, then a second longer While the amplifiers thundered in [Pre-Chorus] Red sun sinking behind the stage Heat in her cheeks, fire in her cage The girl they knew was slipping away She had a whole new name to say [Chorus] Go wild, Sky, let the desert hear you Spin that halo into sparks Go wild, Sky, all your friends are staring You’re the secret in the dark From the quiet seat to the front-row fever From “be careful” to “come undone” Go wild, Sky, you were never boring You were only waiting for the song [Verse 2] She hit the pit when the breakdown landed Shoulder to shoulder, laughing hard Dust on her knees, hair in her mouth Throwing every warning card She winked at Matt, she teased at Jordan Leaned in close, then slipped away Three old friends with their jaws wide open Watching Sky turn night to day A cup ran warm through the Phoenix evening Someone’s smoke curled over the crowd She caught a drifting, dizzy moment And the whole wide world got loud [Pre-Chorus] Bassline shaking the festival ground Her little laugh was the wildest sound They called her shy, they called her sweet Now she was dancing on the beat [Chorus] Go wild, Sky, let the desert hear you Spin that halo into sparks Go wild, Sky, all your friends are staring You’re the secret in the dark From the quiet seat to the front-row fever From “be careful” to “come undone” Go wild, Sky, you were never boring You were only waiting for the song [Bridge] At the merch tent under red bulbs She bought black panties for the memory A little devil tail pointing downward With “SMACK THIS” stitched cheekily She held them up and the whole crew hollered “Sky, is this really you?” She said, “You only met my silence You never met what I can do” [Breakdown] Quiet girl— Not tonight! Soft-spoken— Strike the light! Hands up! Heads roll! Let the desert take control! [Final Chorus] Go wild, Sky, let the desert hear you Spin that halo into sparks Go wild, Sky, all your friends are staring You’re the secret in the dark Flirt like thunder, laugh like trouble Leave your old disguise undone Go wild, Sky, the night remembers And your favorite band has won [Outro] Morning finds her by the entrance Boots dusty, voice gone low Her friends still telling that impossible story About the night their quiet Sky let go
