Golden Hour Never (Version 2)

Verse

Six a.m. the taxis line up slow

Someone's jacket left behind on the stool, no

Half a coffee that went cold three floors below

I'm folding up a story I won't read in school

Pre-Chorus

So how do you learn to let go when it still hurts like fire

When every goodbye is just a door that you must fire

Something in my chest says rise above the smoke

Chorus

This city's burning gold right now, and I'm not afraid

Every ending's just a sunrise we can't wait

I was broken but I built this road to gold

The dark gets lighter when you let it go

So watch me light the sky on my own

Golden hour never leaves us alone

Verse

Subway mirror says hi in half-faced red and blue

Strangers passing words like they're currency, oh yes we do

Empty chair still warm but I won't sit
