Sunlight in a stranger's hair (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse 1

Four a.m., fog on my window glass

The city's breathing heavy in my chest at last

Your pillow still holding your shape on my bed

I lay here and count the ways I've been left behind instead

Fragile light seeps through the blinds up high

Every shadow is a memory I need to deny

I take one step forward, out into the dawn

And every door that closed starts slowly to turn

Pre-Chorus

So what if this morning comes with tears in my eyes?

If it's also sunrise and the whole wide world's mine?

Can I hold on tight to what I'm leaving behind?

Or maybe just take one more step into the shine

Chorus

Sunlight in a stranger's hair

Turning shadows into air

I traded your pillow for my own two feet

Walking away from what tried to beat me down

Sunlight in a stranger's hair

And I don't feel lost anymore, no way

Verse 2

Coffee shop quiet now, steam on the glass door

Strangers' laughter where yours used to be before

I fold your t-shirt slow into my palm as proof

That every goodbye leaves room for something new

City streets come alive with every passing hour

Every stranger is a friend I find in this one power

To walk out the same four walls and not look back

To leave behind what made me want to crack

Pre-Chorus

So what if this morning comes with tears in my eyes?

If it's also sunrise and the whole wide world's mine?

Can I hold on tight to what I'm leaving behind?

Or maybe just take one more step into the shine

Chorus

Sunlight in a stranger's hair

Turning shadows into air

I traded your pillow for my own two feet

Walking away from what tried to beat me down

Sunlight in a stranger's hair

And I don't feel lost anymore, no way

Bridge

No more shadow on the wall

Just gold and light at all

I'm the one I used to search for, finally free

Sunlight in my own face is where I'm supposed to be

Chorus

Sunlight in a stranger's hair

Turning shadows into air

I traded your pillow for my own two feet

Walking away from what tried to beat me down

Sunlight in a stranger's hair

And I don't feel lost anymore, no way
