Sundial Heart 4

Verse

Silver leaves on your collarbone

Fraying at the seams of gold

You found a sundial in the attic

Told it we'd be here until old

Your hands are tracing out the hours

Your shadow's climbing up the wall

I never knew this was a thing you loved

But now I'm marking every single fall

Pre-Chorus

Do you think it knows our names?

Is that what it does all day?

Hold still, hold still, let time unwind

Chorus

Your sundial heart is beating slow and bright

Counting the hours until we're right here tonight

I'm a shadow tracing out your name

Marking every moment till the end of time

Verse

Copper light across your cheekbone

Rustling through the leaves like a key

You said it was a family heirloom

Passed down from someone who could tell a lie

But I don't care if that's true or not

I'm just counting how long we've been here on this plot

Every mark you make in golden dust

Is one more promise to never trust

Pre-Chorus

Do you think it knows our names?

Is that what it does all day?

Hold still, hold still, let time unwind

Chorus

Your sundial heart is beating slow and bright

Counting the hours until we're right here tonight

I'm a shadow tracing out your name

Marking every moment till the end of time

Bridge

No clocks ticking on this floor

Just the way you smile at me once more

We'll stay right here beneath the sun

Until it's all that's left of us when we're gone

Chorus

Your sundial heart is beating slow and bright

Counting the hours until we're right here tonight

I'm a shadow tracing out your name

Marking every moment till the end of time
