(Intro)
(Verse 1)
Coffee cups at sunrise, we were chasing down the mist
Counting up the dreams on a crumpled little list
The morning light was honest, it was sharp and it was clear
We had all the time to whisper every hope and every fear
Barefoot on the pavement, we were golden, we were new
Everything felt possible as long as it was you
(Pre-Chorus)
But the shadows start to stretch across the lawn
And the features of the faces that we knew are moving on
It’s a subtle kind of shifting, like the cooling of the breeze
When the vibrant greens of summer turn to skeletons of trees
(Chorus)
We’re moving through the day and falling deep into the night
And we’re never the same, even in the morning light
The sun is gonna set, and the stars are gonna show
A version of ourselves that we didn't used to know
We’re drifting with the hours, caught inside the change
A long-time love is becoming something strange
From the dawn to the dusk, we’re never the same
(Verse 2)
Now the streetlights flicker on and the air is getting cold
And the stories that we’re telling feel a little bit more old
The neon’s casting colors that we never used to wear
I’m reaching for the silence, but you’re already there
We used to run for miles just to see where it would end
Now we’re walking slowly, just trying to transcend
The weight of all the hours and the dust upon our shoes
Trading in the certain for the things we’re scared to lose
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, the shadows have grown longer than the lawn
And the features of the faces that we knew are almost gone
It’s a heavy kind of shifting, like the falling of the leaves
When the secrets in our pockets turn to things nobody believes
(Chorus)
We’re moving through the day and falling deep into the night
And we’re never the same, even in the morning light
The sun is gonna set, and the stars are gonna show
A version of ourselves that we didn't used to know
We’re drifting with the hours, caught inside the change
A long-time love is becoming something strange
From the dawn to the dusk, we’re never the same
(Bridge)
(Music strips back to a heartbeat kick drum and a moody synth pad)
The moon doesn't ask for the sun to come back
It just finds its own glow in the middle of the black
Maybe that’s the secret, maybe that’s the grace
Learning how to love a brand new version of your face
Even if I miss the morning, even if I miss the light...
I’m learning how to walk with you through the middle of the night
(Guitar Solo - Reverb-heavy, slow, and melodic)
(Chorus)
We’re moving through the day and falling deep into the night
And we’re never the same, even in the morning light
The sun is gonna set, and the stars are gonna show
A version of ourselves that we didn't used to know
We’re drifting with the hours, caught inside the change
A long-time love is becoming something strange
From the dawn to the dusk, we’re never the same
