Beat Me To The Sun (Version 2)

Verse

Four forty-five, the sky's still black

Laces double-tied, ain't looking back

Cold air burning down into my chest

Every step's a war I fight and win

Streetlights fading one by one

Legs on fire but I ain't done

Horizon's cracking gold and gray

I can outrun the break of day

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing in your veins

Every heartbeat breaking off the chains

Nothing's catching me, I'm gone, I'm gone

Watch me chase the edge of dawn

Chorus

I'm gonna beat me to the sun

Outrun the night before it's done

Feet on fire, heart wide open

Nothing's stopping, I'm not slowing

Gold's still rising, I'm already gone

I'm gonna beat me to the sun

Verse

Mile six now, the pavement's mine

Shadows stretching down the yellow line

They said slow down, said catch your breath

I said watch me race the sun to death

Sweat like diamonds on my skin

This is where the fight begins

Every ache is proof I'm still alive

Nothing's catching this, I'm gonna thrive

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing in your veins

Every heartbeat breaking off the chains

Nothing's catching me, I'm gone, I'm gone

Watch me chase the edge of dawn

Chorus

I'm gonna beat me to the sun

Outrun the night before it's done

Feet on fire, heart wide open

Nothing's stopping, I'm not slowing

Gold's still rising, I'm already gone

I'm gonna beat me to the sun

Bridge

Somewhere out past the finish line

There's a version of me made of light and time

She don't wait, she don't look back

She's already running down the track

I can see her, I'm becoming her

Every mile, the world's a blur

Chorus

I'm gonna beat me to the sun

Outrun the night before it's done

Feet on fire, heart wide open

Nothing's stopping, I'm not slowing

Gold's still rising, I'm already gone

I'm gonna beat me to the sun
