Say It Like You Mean the Sunrise — The Velvet Daylights

Verse

Copper light on the kitchen tile

Steam curls up like it's got your smile

You hand me coffee, our fingers slow

Six a.m. never felt so gold

You lean back easy against the door

Like you own the floor, like you've done this before

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now, don't tell me maybe

Is this the start or just a maybe

Cause the way you're standing there

Got me feeling something rare

Chorus

Say it like you mean the sunrise

Slow gold spilling through my blinds

Say it like the whole world opens

When your hand slides into mine

Don't just whisper, don't just hint it

Give me daylight in your eyes

Say it like you mean the sunrise

Say it like you mean the sunrise

Verse

Now we're walking through the market square

Peaches, jasmine, warm July air

You steal a bite, you laugh out loud

Sunlight dancing on the crowd

I'm not chasing shadows anymore

You keep opening every door

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now, don't tell me maybe

Is this the start or just a maybe

Cause the way you're holding on

Feels like where I've always belonged

Chorus

Say it like you mean the sunrise

Slow gold spilling through my blinds

Say it like the whole world opens

When your hand slides into mine

Don't just whisper, don't just hint it

Give me daylight in your eyes

Say it like you mean the sunrise

Say it like you mean the sunrise

Bridge

Maybe I've been waiting on a sign

Turns out you were standing there the whole time

No more almosts, no more maybe-so

I'm done letting easy love just go

Chorus

Say it like you mean the sunrise

Slow gold spilling through my blinds

Say it like the whole world opens

When your hand slides into mine

Don't just whisper, don't just hint it

Give me daylight in your eyes

Say it like you mean the sunrise

Say it like you mean the sunrise
