Lyric

You pulled up late in a parking lot

Purple horse on your jacket

Half-shot

Said

“I never learned to slow down”

Keys in your teeth as you laughed too loud

Purple horse on your back like armor

Running wild through the edge of summer

Every night that we lit that corner

Faded ink and a tiny thunder

Purple horse I still see it clearly

On the days when the world feels heavy

If I close my eyes just a little longer

I ride that purple horse back to you (Back to you)

Snack bar fries and a paper crown

You drew stars on my wrists

Wrote “don’t drown”

Swore the moon followed us for miles

Head on my shoulder at red lights

Purple horse on your back like armor

Running wild through the edge of summer

Every night that we lit that corner

Faded ink and a tiny thunder

Purple horse I still see it clearly

On the days when the world feels heavy

If I close my eyes just a little longer

I ride that purple horse back to you (Back to you)
