[Verse 1]
Down the long road
We built from dust and dreams
Boarded windows
Names carved in the beams
Your jacket on my shoulders
August in my veins
This town already over
But we stay
[Chorus]
One last dance in the ruins of our town
Turn me slow
Don’t talk
Don’t look around
Where love once burned like gold against the dark
I see the ashes shining
I feel your borrowed heart
One last dance
Before we fall apart
[Verse 2]
Streetlights fading
Like they’re tired of the fight
Grass through concrete
Taking back the night
You laugh about the future
Like it’s just a dare
I trace the old bruised letters
“We were here”
[Chorus]
One last dance in the ruins of our town
Turn me slow
Don’t talk
Don’t look around
Where love once burned like gold against the dark
I see the ashes shining
I feel your borrowed heart
One last dance
Before we fall apart
[Bridge]
If we leave now
Does it all stay real?
If the road forgets us
Will the distance heal?
Hold me in the silence
Tangled breath and dust
Let the falling houses
Crumble after us
[Chorus]
One last dance in the ruins of our town
Hold me close
Pretend we’re not worn out
Where love once burned like gold against the dark
I see the ashes shining
I feel your borrowed heart
One last dance
And then the dark
And then we part
