Verse
Every window here is wide and bright
I set my coffee down on the sill tonight
The sundial on the porch is worn and old
But I still turn to face the light that's gold
It climbs across the wall like slow applause
For every sunrise, I've never been a pause
The room grows quiet when you finally sleep
And I feel your shadow slide along the floor and creep
I know it sounds strange, but this is how I'm wired
Every dawn brings me closer to what's higher
The stars go dark in your eyes, but they still guide me
This old sundial tells a different kind of history
Pre-Chorus
What if all that's left behind isn't what I lose?
What if it's just the light my heart can choose
Chorus
I'm not lost when you go — I'm just turned around
Every morning brings me back to what I found
In your eyes, a piece of home I'll always keep
This sundial heart beats on and never sleeps
Verse
The clock above the door keeps ticking slow
But yours is the only heartbeat I know
Your favorite book lies open where you left it
And I can't help but turn to that page in print
I'm still holding what we shared like a candle flame
Watching how far it shines through all the time and shame
The roof above us leaks a golden glow
Into this room, and into my bones, somehow
Pre-Chorus
What if all that's left behind isn't what I lose?
What if it's just the light my heart can choose
Chorus
I'm not lost when you go — I'm just turned around
Every morning brings me back to what I found
In your eyes, a piece of home I'll always keep
This sundial heart beats on and never sleeps
Bridge
Maybe leaving means I get a little more sunlight
Every step forward is one less shadowed night
Your hand may be gone, but it's still guiding me
To the part where our horizon just begins to meet the sea
Chorus
I'm not lost when you go — I'm just turned around
Every morning brings me back to what I found
In your eyes, a piece of home I'll always keep
This sundial heart beats on and never sleeps
