Every First Light 2 (version 2)

Verse

Pencils stacked against the corner of your desk

Lunchbox hums on low, the fluorescent flickers less

Your shoulder drifts toward mine as we scan through class

Pre-Chorus

Something in my collar keeps turning slow

Tell me if you feel it too

Barely holding onto what I know

Can you catch a ghost that moves with you

Chorus

Every first light, I'm running late

Lost between the hours, and where we're at

Every first light, our shadows wait

Catching us before the day is flat

Verse

Your fingers brush across my wrist like it's by design

The hallway clock is stuck on eight o'clock time

We both pretend to check the numbers line

But neither one of us looks back twice

Pre-Chorus

Something in my collar keeps turning slow

Tell me if you feel it too

Barely holding onto what I know

Can you catch a ghost that moves with you

Chorus

Every first light, I'm running late

Lost between the hours, and where we're at

Every first light, our shadows wait

Catching us before the day is flat

Bridge

Maybe it's not about the clock or time

Maybe it's just the way the sun decides

If we catch it here, if we let it go

Do you think that ghost was ours to know

Chorus

Every first light, I'm running late

Lost between the hours, and where we're at

Every first light, our shadows wait

Catching us before the day is flat
