The Longest Hour

Intro

Sub in my chest, pulse keeps time

Verse

Neon bleeding down the wall

Steel in my spine

Every step feels like a fall

But I don't stop until I hit the floor

Then I look up at the clock and it says 3:47

I've been running for hours but nothing's gone by

I just turn around, walk some more

And that's all I know anymore

Chorus

This is the longest hour of my life

Every step keeps me alive

Sub in my chest, pulse keeps time

Run till the morning light

Verse

Concrete floor is turning white

Cold wind through the open door

I've been moving for what feels like forever now

Maybe it's an hour or maybe it's ten

But I don't stop until I find my way out again

Every step says keep going, don't look back yet

So I keep on moving till the light comes up and sets

Chorus

This is the longest hour of my life

Every step keeps me alive

Sub in my chest, pulse keeps time

Run till the morning light

Bridge

Maybe it's not a test, maybe it's just what I need

A chance to leave the old behind, find something new instead

No clock on the wall can measure how long this lasts

It's only when the sun comes up that we find the past

So keep running, don't let go

The longest hour of your life turns into a lifetime you'll grow

Chorus

This is the longest hour of my life

Every step keeps me alive

Sub in my chest, pulse keeps time

Run till the morning light

Outro

Morning light creeps through the door

I've made it to 4:03 before

I let go of this endless pace and take a breath deep inside

The longest hour is just one day that I won't have to hide
