We Own the Sunrise Now

Verse

Packed the tent while the stars were fading

Left your jacket folded on the pine

Engine cold, the gravel road was waiting

Taillights burning one more dotted line

I still taste the smoke from last night's fire

Salt still crusted on my boots and skin

Everything we built is getting smaller in the mirror

But the sky's about to let us in

Pre-Chorus

So what do we do with all this quiet

With the ridge line turning gold and red

Is it goodbye or is it just beginning

Right there where the dark and daylight wed

Chorus

We own the sunrise now

Every ember, every cloud

Say so long to the valley floor

We don't need it anymore

Climbing up where the wild wind blows

We own the sunrise now

Verse

Left the porch light burning for nobody

Traded doorframes for a canyon wall

Every mile erasing who we used to be

Watch the old world get so small

Your hand still smells like campfire coffee

Mine still shakes from letting go

But the peaks are catching fire up above me

And I finally like the way it shows

Pre-Chorus

So what do we do with all this quiet

With the ridge line turning gold and red

Is it goodbye or is it just beginning

Right there where the dark and daylight wed

Chorus

We own the sunrise now

Every ember, every cloud

Say so long to the valley floor

We don't need it anymore

Climbing up where the wild wind blows

We own the sunrise now

Bridge

Maybe leaving was the only way to land here

Maybe losing was the price to see this clear

Every door that closed behind us cracked a window wide

And the light got in, and the light got in

Chorus

We own the sunrise now

Every ember, every cloud

Say so long to the valley floor

We don't need it anymore

Climbing higher, hearts wide open

We own the sunrise now

We own the sunrise now
