Sundial in the Dark

Verse

The city lights begin to turn down low

Pavement dark where the headlights used to go

Shadows stretch and they grow so long

I find my footing on this darker road

Dust in the air from the passing cars

You catch a breath when you hear the guitar chords start

Hands move slow like we're making time

The sky is orange, it's turning blue

The streetlights flicker like they don't know what to do

We take our places under the setting sun

Every note on the guitar feels like it's just begun

Pre-Chorus

Something rising up out of this place

I can feel it climbing through my chest and spine

Don't you know that we are not alone in this space

This is how we move when the light goes low

Chorus

Sundial in the dark, turning us around

Sundial in the dark, where every moment's found

Hands up high against the fading blue

Hold the beat until it breaks through

We don't need a sky to tell us what to do

Every pulse of this drum is pulling me to you

Verse 2

Your shadow on the wall as the streetlight hums

A million diamonds falling from your fingers, gone

Pavement hot under my bare feet and skin

The only traffic here are the shadows we let in

You turn towards me with a slow smile wide

Every note from that guitar is turning inside

We don't need a compass to find our way

This is where I've been running every single day

Pre-Chorus

Something rising up out of this place

I can feel it climbing through my chest and spine

Don't you know that we are not alone in this space

This is how we move when the light goes low

Chorus

Sundial in the dark, turning us around

Sundial in the dark, where every moment's found

Hands up high against the fading blue

Hold the beat until it breaks through

We don't need a sky to tell us what to do

Every pulse of this drum is pulling me to you

Bridge

Forget the clock on your wrist and forget the time

Let the city dark become our only sign

This is how we let go and let the rhythm guide

In every shadow, I see your face tonight

Chorus

Sundial in the dark, turning us around

Sundial in the dark, where every moment's found

Hands up high against the fading blue

Hold the beat until it breaks through

We don't need a sky to tell us what to do

Every pulse of this drum is pulling me to you
