歌詞

[Verse 1]

Three months since graduation

First Sunday morning in June

Five twenty, streets still sleeping

Rain fading under the moon

Camera over my shoulder

Warm coffee held in both hands

The station lights were waiting

Like they still knew who I am

[Pre Chorus]

I filled my days with new things

But every view led back to you

[Chorus]

I kept the sunrise for myself

Didn’t send it to your phone

For once I let a beautiful thing

Be mine and mine alone

I never answered you

But I finally answered me

When the first train opened up

I chose where I would be

[Verse 2]

Eleven fifty six last night

Four minutes left to decide

A photo job beside the ocean

A door I was scared to try

I wrote, erased, then hit submit

Turned the screen face down

I wanted to take it all back

But let my answer stand

[Pre Chorus]

Your old messages were waiting

“How’ve you been?” “Can we talk?”

I touched your name, then locked the screen

And heard the train pull up

[Chorus]

I kept the sunrise for myself

Didn’t send it to your phone

For once I let a beautiful thing

Be mine and mine alone

I never answered you

But I finally answered me

When the first train opened up

I chose where I would be

[Bridge]

Orange light broke through the clouds

And burned across the rails

I raised my camera like before

Then stopped before your name

I made a folder called “Day One”

And saved the morning there

Maybe someday I’ll call you first

When I can speak without fear

[Final Chorus]

I kept the sunrise for myself

Watched our platform fade from view

I can miss the way you loved me

Without running back to you

I never answered you

But I finally answered me

This train is moving toward the coast

And I can finally breathe

Maybe one day I’ll send you something

Just not this one, not today

This is the first light I have found

That I don’t have to give away

[Outro]

The city disappeared behind me

Morning opened up ahead

I kept the sunrise for myself

And chose my life instead
