Lyric

Curtains moving with the breeze

Shadows fading from the room

We were quiet on the edge

Of everything we almost knew

Your jacket by the chair remains

Coffee cold beside the bed

There are words between our hands

Neither one of us has said

I can hear the morning coming close

And I’m not ready for the light

Before sunrise

Before this night lets go

Tell me something honest

I can carry when you go

Before sunrise

Before the sky turns gold

Let me keep this version of us

Before it gets too cold

Streetlights slowly disappear

The city waking far away

I can feel the world begin

While we still haven’t found a name

You smile like you already know

Some endings don’t need blame

Some people meet for one brief night

And still are never quite the same

I can feel the daylight on the floor

And time is pulling at the door

Before sunrise

Before this silence breaks

Say the things we buried

Under everything unsaid

Before sunrise

Before we turn to ghosts

Let me hold this moment close

A little longer than I should

Maybe we were never meant

To last beyond the dark

But some nights become forever

Once they touch your heart

Before sunrise

I won’t ask you to stay

Some love is only real enough

To light one night this way

Before sunrise

I’ll watch the shadows fade

And keep the warmth you left behind

Long after you’re away
