Breathe in the dark (Version 2)

Intro

Porch light on the gravel, door open wide

Verse 1

Smoke curling through my fingers, stars still in your eyes

Last song of the stereo, static in the night sky

You said you'd call me morning, but I won't wait that long

I'm chasing sunbeams up the hill where we used to belong

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why it feels like this is all there is

Tell me why your shadow still keeps pace with my hands

Chorus

Let it fade before you leave me behind

Let it burn until I lose the line between what's real and mine

Fingers crossed against the dawn light rising high

I'll be waiting for a memory that never dies

Verse 2

Your smile still lingers on my collarbone, like you're still here

Coffee stains on the counter, same old four-a-m air

You said forever's just a word we throw around in July

But I'm holding onto tonight until it turns to grey

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why it feels like this is all there is

Tell me why your shadow still keeps pace with my hands

Chorus

Let it fade before you leave me behind

Let it burn until I lose the line between what's real and mine

Fingers crossed against the dawn light rising high

I'll be waiting for a memory that never dies

Bridge

Maybe forever wasn't something we could hold in our hands

Maybe forever was just a feeling worth giving up my plans

For one more hour of your shoulder pressed against mine

That's all I need, not tomorrow, not tonight

Chorus

Let it fade before you leave me behind

Let it burn until I lose the line between what's real and mine

Fingers crossed against the dawn light rising high

I'll be waiting for a memory that never dies
