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
