Campfire Ghosts

[Intro]
[Verse]
Firelight paints your face tonight
Sticky fingers, sweet and bright
Old hound dreaming by the flame
Whispering your childhood name
This old spot, it knows our story
Every scar and every glory
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't need to say it all
Just watch the embers rise and fall
This quiet moment, heavy air
A silent promise we can share
[Chorus]
Cross country bound, but my heart stays here
With every echo, every tear
This patch of earth, our sacred ground
Where all our best-kept thoughts are found
We'll come back, friend, I know we will
To this same spot, serene and still
[Verse]
Remember that old oak tree swing?
The secrets that it used to bring?
We built a fort with fallen boughs
Swore our unbreakable vows
Never spoke them out aloud
Lost within the happy crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't need to say it all
Just watch the embers rise and fall
This quiet moment, heavy air
A silent promise we can share
[Chorus]
Cross country bound, but my heart stays here
With every echo, every tear
This patch of earth, our sacred ground
Where all our best-kept thoughts are found
We'll come back, friend, I know we will
To this same spot, serene and still
[Bridge]
The embers fade to ash and dust
Our youthful dreams, our simple trust
This feeling lingers, soft and low
A bittersweet and tender glow
[Verse]
Your hand reaches out, a gentle touch
Means more than words could ever mean so much
We've grown up slow, we've grown up fast
Trying to make these moments last
The moonlight spills across the dew
And I'm so grateful, friend, for you
[Chorus]
Cross country bound, but my heart stays here
With every echo, every tear
This patch of earth, our sacred ground
Where all our best-kept thoughts are found
We'll come back, friend, I know we will
To this same spot, serene and still
[Outro]
