Sun Still Gold

Verse

Four a.m., the blinds cut soft gold

Your jacket still on the chair we left cold

Steam curls up slow from the coffee pot left behind

Static on my shirt and I don't mind at all

You turned down the key but you said stay for now

Said morning's the hardest door to open somehow

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what's the rule here

Stay till it's dark then disappear?

Or do we let it go slow?

Chorus

Sun still gold on your shoulder bone

Same four walls but nothing feels alone

Every minute counts before you're gone

Let this hour burn, don't rush home

Verse

Window's smeared with our breath and the rain outside

City lights fade soft into blue then orange tonight

You trace my collarbone where the light cuts thin

Said goodbyes are easier in morning's thin

The clock ticks quiet like it knows better than me

How to measure what we're trying to keep free

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what's the rule here

Stay till it's dark then disappear?

Or do we let it go slow?

Chorus

Sun still gold on your shoulder bone

Same four walls but nothing feels alone

Every minute counts before you're gone

Let this hour burn, don't rush home

Bridge

Maybe the goodbye was never meant to be sharp as noon

Maybe sunrise just means we made it through last night alone

I won't ask you stay forever

Just long enough for this feeling not to hurt later

Chorus

Sun still gold on your shoulder bone

Same four walls but nothing feels alone

Every minute counts before you're gone

Let this hour burn, don't rush home
