Chasing light into thin air

Verse

Four in the morning and the streetlights hum

Dust on my collarbone from where I sat till dawn

You were talking loud about a sunrise that never came

I was watching shadows dance on your face

I didn't know what you said but it sounded like a prayer

And I wanted to believe every single word

Pre-Chorus

Maybe this is all we get

This feeling, these four walls, the dark and the breath

Can I hold onto something that's already fading away?

Or can I find some new way to chase what's left?

Chorus

I'm chasing light into thin air

Breathe it deep until it stays

I won't let it slip right out of here

I'll be running on a rumor, nothing but the sound

Of my own heartbeat and the ground beneath my feet

I'm chasing light into thin air

Before you disappear into the heat

I'll run till I find it, or till I forget

Verse

You said we'd watch the sky turn pink over the rooftops

Instead the sun just dipped behind a skyscraper's top

But your hand found mine when the streetlights flickered on

We didn't need that sunrise to make this feel like home

I don't remember all of what you were saying

Just how it made me want to stay and keep on singing

Pre-Chorus

Maybe this is all we get

This feeling, these four walls, the dark and the breath

Can I hold onto something that's already fading away?

Or can I find some new way to chase what's left?

Chorus

I'm chasing light into thin air

Breathe it deep until it stays

I won't let it slip right out of here

I'll be running on a rumor, nothing but the sound

Of my own heartbeat and the ground beneath my feet

I'm chasing light into thin air

Before you disappear into the heat

I'll run till I find it, or till I forget

Bridge

Maybe it's not a place at all that we're chasing

Just this feeling like we could change everything if we stay

And I don't know what tomorrow will bring

But for now let's hold onto something real, something bright

Let's keep on running till the light comes back around

Even if we have to run in circles until it does

Chorus

I'm chasing light into thin air

Breathe it deep until it stays

I won't let it slip right out of here

I'll be running on a rumor, nothing but the sound

Of my own heartbeat and the ground beneath my feet

I'm chasing light into thin air

Before you disappear into the heat

I'll run till I find it, or till I forget
