Verse
Night still clings to the back of your neck
Cold rail under palms, count what breath you have left
Eyes half shut where the horizon leaks white
Body forgets it was ever the night
Legs keep a rhythm the mind can't recall
Shoulders drop soft as the last shadows fall
Warmth finds the collarbone, climbs to the jaw
Nothing left standing but what the sun saw
Pre-Chorus
Stop counting hours, let the light take the lead
Skin knows the moment before the mind can read
Hands open slow where the dark used to hold
Let the heat in before you turn cold
Chorus
Skin against sunrise
Let it in
Skin against sunrise
Start again
Skin against sunrise
Break the hold
Skin against sunrise
Turn and glow
Verse
Dew on the railing, warm where your wrist just lay
Breath comes out slower, it learns how to stay
Feet stop chasing the beat that has gone
Body keeps moving, the pulse carries on
Sweat cools to nothing where light starts to spread
Heavy limbs lighten, the ache leaves the head
Someone beside you breathes into the gold
Both of you learning the same story told
Pre-Chorus
Stop counting hours, let the light take the lead
Skin knows the moment before the mind can read
Hands open slow where the dark used to hold
Let the heat in before you turn cold
Chorus
Skin against sunrise
Let it in
Skin against sunrise
Start again
Skin against sunrise
Break the hold
Skin against sunrise
Turn and glow
Bridge
No more holding, no more chase
Let the morning read your face
Every muscle, every bone
Finds the way home
Chorus
Skin against sunrise
Let it in
Skin against sunrise
Start again
Skin against sunrise
Break the hold
Skin against sunrise
Turn and glow
