Holding on Bold

[Verse 1] Her lips brush mine like a promise we earned the hard way My hands in her hair say we lived to see another day The world finally stopped spinning long enough for us to stay And in the hush between us, survival feels like foreplay [Pre-Chorus] She taps the Siren’s Tear like it’s burning through the floor Says, “This little stone could buy us one last open door,” I laugh soft, “Yeah, or paint a target on us even more,” But she kisses me slow like she’s ready for the score [Chorus] If we’re running, then we’re running toward the life we want If we’re fighting, then we’re fighting with our names up front Got the Siren’s Tear burning like a dare we can’t outrun But baby, with you beside me, every danger feels like fun If the world wants a war, let it come, we won’t fold We got a stone worth a kingdom and a love worth gold Every shadow on our trail is just a story retold ’Cause we survive every fire when we’re holding on bold [Verse 2] We roll past the border town lights with the Tear in her coat She’s scanning the mirrors while I keep the engine afloat Says, “One wrong buyer, baby, and they’ll slit us throat to throat,” But she smiles that wild smile that keeps my whole damn world afloat [Bridge] Headlights in the distance start to mirror every turn we take She grips the wheel tighter, says, “Baby, this ain’t a mistake,” The Tear in her coat feels heavier with every breath we make I check the mirrors twice, that car behind us won’t break, Her voice goes low, “If they want a chase, we’ll make ’em quake,” And we floor it through the night like the road is ours to take [Pre-Chorus] She taps the Siren’s Tear like it’s burning through her coat Says, “Baby, this stone decides if we sink or float,” I nod, breath sharp, “Then we choose the bolder note,” And her hand finds mine like she’s already cast the vote [Chorus] If we’re running, then we’re running toward the life we want If we’re fighting, then we’re fighting with our names up front Got the Siren’s Tear burning like a dare we can’t outrun But baby, with you beside me, every danger feels like fun If the world wants a war, let it come, we won’t fold We got a stone worth a kingdom and a love worth gold Every shadow on our trail is just a story retold ’Cause we survive every fire when we’re holding on bold [Slow down] [Outro] “With a wicked smile she whispers, ‘The Siren’s Tear is ours to keep.’ And I say, ‘As long as we hold on bold… there’s nothing we can’t defeat.’”
