Sunlight on Broken Glass (Version 2)

Verse

Bus stop window cracked like a mouth that won't close

Salt on my collarbone from the harbor road

T-shirt soaked through but I don't feel it now

Radio's playing something soft and low

I'm counting every penny left in my pocket

Every doubt I had before the light got here

Skyline turned to gold where the taxis queue

I forget how heavy I was, I forget the fear

Pre-Chorus

Tell me this feeling ain't just borrowed time

Tell me it stays when the day folds back in

Say I'm not just catching what's passing by

Say it settles inside me like the sun on skin

Chorus

Sunlight on broken glass, turning everything to gold

Sunlight on my shoulders, warm as a fire that never grows cold

I don't need tomorrow if tonight feels this real

Sunlight on broken glass and I'm already healed

Verse

Corner store window reflection shows me dancing slow

Strangers moving like we all got something better to do

Tin roof cathedral echoing every word the singer's singing

Same four chords but my heart keeps rewriting it anew

I don't know where my rent money's coming from tonight

But right now the night feels bigger than the fight

Stars are scattered across the harbor like diamonds thrown

I'm collecting them anyway, I'm not letting them go

Pre-Chorus

Tell me this feeling ain't just borrowed time

Tell me it stays when the day folds back in

Say I'm not just catching what's passing by

Say it settles inside me like the sun on skin

Chorus

Sunlight on broken glass, turning everything to gold

Sunlight on my shoulders, warm as a fire that never grows cold

I don't need tomorrow if tonight feels this real

Sunlight on broken glass and I'm already healed

Bridge

Maybe it's just the hour, maybe it's just the beat

But for one second every doubt falls underneath

Every crack in the pavement looks like a doorway open wide

I'll take this much anyway, I won't ask for more tonight

Chorus

Sunlight on broken glass, turning everything to gold

Sunlight on my shoulders, warm as a fire that never grows cold

I don't need tomorrow if tonight feels this real

Sunlight on broken glass and I'm already healed
