Light Still Rising 2 (version 2)

Verse

Four a.m. and the city is ours

Empty streets where we let go

Bare feet on the wet pavement floor

Your hand in mine like it's meant to glow

Concrete cooling under our skin

The sky is bleeding into gold

No shadows left to hold us back

Just this light, just this road

Pre-Chorus

Is this living? Is this dying?

I don't want either one of those

Just this feeling, just these eyes

Open wide where the night was lost

Chorus

The light still rising, we rise with it

Skin to skin in the silver mist

We chase the shadow that we thought was us

Into the gold and into the blue

Light still rising, let me see you there

Verse

Your breath on my neck like a breeze

Every beat of your heart I hear it

Rustling leaves in the city trees

You turn to me with a smile so clear

Sweat on our skin where the sun is warm

Barefoot dancing through the gray

Nothing left but the night and us and this form

That's moving, that's breathing, that's here today

Pre-Chorus

Is this living? Is this dying?

I don't want either one of those

Just this feeling, just these eyes

Open wide where the night was lost

Chorus

The light still rising, we rise with it

Skin to skin in the silver mist

We chase the shadow that we thought was us

Into the gold and into the blue

Light still rising, let me see you there

Bridge

No clock ticking, no final bell

Just this breath where your body swells

I don't want dawn, I want to stay

Where the light doesn't tell me what day

Let's lose ourselves where we used to be

Before the world had anything else to say

Chorus

The light still rising, we rise with it

Skin to skin in the silver mist

We chase the shadow that we thought was us

Into the gold and into the blue

Light still rising, let me see you there
