Cut Through the Fading Light (Version 2)

Intro

Glass is thin against my palm

Verse

Neon bleeding into the black

Cigarette smoke curling up the track

Your voice on the other end of the line

Asking if I'm still running out of time

I look for ghosts where shadows land

Counting miles and trying to understand

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it in your chest?

Is it pounding loud enough yet?

Chorus

Cut through the fading light, take me over into tonight

Leave a trail of cigarette smoke across these dying streets

We don't stop for dawn or darkness anymore

Just watch how far our shadows stretch and roar

I'm chasing every last degree before we lose this fire

I need to know if you can see it burning higher

Verse

Tire rubber on the wet black road

Windows full of nothing but what's been told

You said I'm running from a name not mine

But I think I'm running for the one that left behind

Every exit sign we pass feels like a lie

I'm searching for a light in these empty skies

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it in your chest?

Is it pounding loud enough yet?

Chorus

Cut through the fading light, take me over into tonight

Leave a trail of cigarette smoke across these dying streets

We don't stop for dawn or darkness anymore

Just watch how far our shadows stretch and roar

I'm chasing every last degree before we lose this fire

I need to know if you can see it burning higher

Bridge

Maybe I don't need an address at all

Maybe the horizon's where we learn to crawl

Every mile marker's just a name on stone

We write our own maps and draw our own road home

Chorus

Cut through the fading light, take me over into tonight

Leave a trail of cigarette smoke across these dying streets

We don't stop for dawn or darkness anymore

Just watch how far our shadows stretch and roar

I'm chasing every last degree before we lose this fire

I need to know if you can see it burning higher

Outro

Fading light, I'll catch you on the other side of dark
