Gold Before Sunrise

Verse

Six a.m. on a concrete floor

Last of the strobe still flickering through my door

Wallet's empty but my pulse won't slow down

Every step I take is wearing that frown out

Bassline fading to the hum of the street

Same four blocks but they look different when you're running on heat

I ain't chasing money, money can wait

Right now this is everything that I'm worth, that I'm not late

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising over us tonight?

Gold before sunrise turning everything right

Chorus

We move like we own the daylight

Feet don't stop until the sky ignites

Every empty pocket's a doorway wide

Gold before sunrise, gold before sunrise

Hands up catching fire off the rooftops below

Moving like we know that nothing can slow us down now, let go

Verse

Taxi lights are blurring into one long line

Same four blocks but they look different when you're running on heat

Radio crackling something static and sweet

Barely hearing it because the whole city's at my feet

Sweat like a blessing that I don't wash off

Every beat is a coin I'm throwing off

Skyline turning amber, gold, then red

I been running from nothing since the night before bed

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising over us tonight?

Gold before sunrise turning everything right

Chorus

We move like we own the daylight

Feet don't stop until the sky ignites

Every empty pocket's a doorway wide

Gold before sunrise, gold before sunrise

Hands up catching fire off the rooftops below

Moving like we know that nothing can slow us down now, let go

Bridge

I ain't chasing money, I'm chasing this feeling

This is the only fortune that I'll ever be keeping

No more yesterday, no more tomorrow night

Just the pulse and the skyline, and the dark turning light

Chorus

We move like we own the daylight

Feet don't stop until the sky ignites

Every empty pocket's a doorway wide

Gold before sunrise, gold before sunrise

Hands up catching fire off the rooftops below

Moving like we know that nothing can slow us down now, let go
