Sunrise in the Attic (версия 2)

Verse

You used to keep the window open till the light came in

Raising your arms up towards it like a prayer within

We'd dance across the floorboards, spinning slow and wide

I can still taste that sweetness, feel your palm against mine

Every summer we've been waiting for, you said this one would be ours

Now you're gone with nothing left but the smoke in the air

I keep my eyes on where the sun is rising through the glass

You're not here to see it rising like we used to do

Pre-Chorus

Is that your shadow leaning against the pane?

Or is this just a version of you I couldn't hold onto again?

Can we chase what we can't keep, or will the light turn cold on me?

Do you still hear the music playing loud in here with me?

Chorus

Sunrise in the attic, where did you go?

Every door keeps slamming shut, and I don't know if I'm home

Rising through the cobwebs like a ghost in the light

Amber on the windowsill where our love used to live

Sunrise in the attic, where are your hands tonight?

I've been counting every sunrise since you took off without me, leaving behind nothing but the hum of these empty rooms

Verse

You kept a box of photographs we'd hidden away

Faded Polaroids where shadows turned to gold and gray

I still remember how your fingers moved across my cheek

Every line on that picture is a year that you went missing for what felt like an eternity

But the sun keeps rising through the blinds like it's owed to me

You used to say we were a fire burning in the walls

A spark that nothing could ever put out at all

Now I'm just trying to find my way back to where the flame once was

Where every sunrise feels like a reminder of what we had but never got to save

Pre-Chorus

Is that your shadow leaning against the pane?

Or is this just a version of you I couldn't hold onto again?

Can we chase what we can't keep, or will the light turn cold on me?

Do you still hear the music playing loud in here with me?

Chorus

Sunrise in the attic, where did you go?

Every door keeps slamming shut, and I don't know if I'm home

Rising through the cobwebs like a ghost in the light

Amber on the windowsill where our love used to live

Sunrise in the attic, where are your hands tonight?

I've been counting every sunrise since you took off without me, leaving behind nothing but the hum of these empty rooms

Bridge

Maybe someday we'll find a way back through the dust and smoke

And all these sunrises will finally break us loose from this place

But till then I'm holding onto just the way that light came in

Hoping it's enough to keep me whole again

I know I said forever, but forever feels like it broke my heart in two

Still I keep watching every sunrise because maybe someday we'll find our way back to you

Chorus

Sunrise in the attic, where did you go?

Every door keeps slamming shut, and I don't know if I'm home

Rising through the cobwebs like a ghost in the light

Amber on the windowsill where our love used to live
