Same Light Before Sunrise

Verse

Coffee's cold but the porch light stays on

Two a.m. shadow before sunrise begins

Your jacket still hangs by the door like it knows

I'm leaving now, I have to go tonight

The highway glows soft where the streetlights end

Engine hums low while my heart keeps trying to mend

Windows down wide so the cool air can cut through

Everything left behind starts to feel like 'through

Pre-Chorus

So how do you pack up a piece of you

When every stop sign's one more mile away from you

Tell me how much sky is enough, I don't know yet

I only know I'm moving because it won't quit

Chorus

We're chasing the same light before sunrise

Two hearts running different miles but our eyes meet in time

Miles go on forever and I still want to find you

In every mile marker, somewhere after sundown, somewhen we turn up

We're chasing the same light before sunrise

Same sky turning gold where your shadow's going too

Verse

Gas station lights blur into one long neon line

License plate numbers fade like a memory in time

I'm folding up maps like I fold up my heart

Same four corners, different address, still we start

Somewhere down this road I hope to find you again

Maybe with the same ache but wearing a lighter rain

Pre-Chorus

So how do you pack up a piece of you

When every stop sign's one more mile away from you

Tell me how much sky is enough, I don't know yet

I only know I'm moving because it won't quit

Chorus

We're chasing the same light before sunrise

Two hearts running different miles but our eyes meet in time

Miles go on forever and I still want to find you

In every mile marker, somewhere after sundown, somewhen we turn up

We're chasing the same light before sunrise

Same sky turning gold where your shadow's going too

Bridge

Maybe goodbyes are just gates swung wide

Leading straight into a different kind of light

Every goodbye road bends toward another dawn

Not an ending, a compass turned back home

Chorus

We're chasing the same light before sunrise

Two hearts running different miles but our eyes meet in time

Miles go on forever and I still want to find you

In every mile marker, somewhere after sundown, somewhen we turn up

We're chasing the same light before sunrise

Same sky turning gold where your shadow's going too
