Johan & Kevin – Chasing the Horizon 🎸🔥

Lyrics

[Intro – Instrumental] [Soaring synth brass, building drums and electric guitars] [Male – spoken] Kevin, the camera’s rolling. You ready? [Female – spoken] Turn it up, Johan. Let’s give them something to remember! [Verse 1 – Male] Kevin’s waiting downstairs in the rain, I grab the camera, run back for it again. Forgot the battery beside my bed, “You’d lose your own name,” he laughs and shakes his head. [Female] We catch the last bus heading into town, Watch all the little shops start closing down. No grand adventure written in our plans, Just Friday night and a camera in our hands. [Pre-Chorus – Both, building] Then you point up where the hillside meets the sky, “Bet we can reach the top before the daylight dies!” We leave the road, you count us in— [Chorus – Both, powerful] Johan and Kevin, chasing the horizon, Running where the evening turns to gold! Turn up the sound, we can feel it rising, There’s a whole wide world we haven’t shown! When the daylight fades, keep the camera rolling, Catch our shadows dancing in the glow. Johan and Kevin, chasing the horizon— How far can we go? [Instrumental Hook – Synth brass and electric guitar] [Verse 2 – Female] Halfway up, we’re running out of breath, You say, “Whose brilliant plan was this again?” I try to answer, laughing far too hard, We stop to film the lights down by the park. [Male] You take the camera, turn it back on me, “Tell everybody what you came to see.” I look beyond the houses down below, “The place we live, from somewhere we don’t know.” [Pre-Chorus – Both, building] There’s one more climb before we reach the sky, A little less daylight, but we’ve still got time. You hold your hand out, pull me through— [Chorus – Both, powerful] Johan and Kevin, chasing the horizon, Running where the evening turns to gold! Turn up the sound, we can feel it rising, There’s a whole wide world we haven’t shown! When the daylight fades, keep the camera rolling, Catch our shadows dancing in the glow. Johan and Kevin, chasing the horizon— How far can we go? [Extended Guitar Solo] [Melodic electric guitar over driving drums and soaring synths] [Bridge – Male, softly] Someday we’ll find this footage on a screen, And laugh about how young we used to be. [Female] We’ll hear the wind, the jokes, the things we said, And see that muddy hillside once again. [Both – building] So leave this part in, even when we fall, The shaky shots, the laughter—keep it all! The sun breaks through, We made it just in time— Kevin, get beside me! Let’s catch the sky! [Final Chorus – Both, soaring with backing vocals] Johan and Kevin, chasing the horizon, Standing where the evening turns to gold! Turn up the sound, we can feel it rising, There’s a whole wide world we haven’t shown! When the daylight fades, keep the camera rolling, Catch our shadows dancing in the glow. Johan and Kevin, chasing the horizon— How far can we go? [Outro – Both, stadium chant] Oh-oh-oh, keep the camera rolling! Oh-oh-oh, watch the whole sky glow! Johan and Kevin— How far can we go? [Final synth fanfare and powerful guitar ending]
