Paint the Morning Gold

Verse

Kicked my shoes off by the window sill

Six a.m. light on the windowsill

Left my worries folded on the chair

Stepped into the kitchen like I don't have a care

Coffee's cold but the coffee can wait

There's a whole wide sky and I'm already late

Pre-Chorus

So what's stopping me now

What's holding my feet to the ground

Can you feel that sound

Rising up, rising up

Chorus

I'm gonna paint the morning gold

Spin till the ceiling turns to sky

Nothing left to hold me, nothing left to hide

Dancing tonight like I'm twenty-one and free

This is my rhythm, this is my street

I'm gonna paint the morning gold

Verse

Streetlights humming on the boulevard

Every window is an open door tonight

Found my rhythm in a stranger's yard

Borrowed laughter, gave it back with light

Don't need a reason, don't need a clock

Just this feeling climbing up my block

Pre-Chorus

So what's stopping me now

What's holding my feet to the ground

Can you feel that sound

Rising up, rising up

Chorus

I'm gonna paint the morning gold

Spin till the ceiling turns to sky

Nothing left to hold me, nothing left to hide

Dancing tonight like I'm twenty-one and free

This is my rhythm, this is my street

I'm gonna paint the morning gold

Bridge

Used to wait for permission

Used to whisper when I should have sung

Now I'm loud as the sunrise

Now I'm running where I come from

Let the whole block hear it

Let the whole sky know my name

Chorus

I'm gonna paint the morning gold

Spin till the ceiling turns to sky

Nothing left to hold me, nothing left to hide

Dancing tonight like I'm twenty-one and free

This is my rhythm, this is my street

I'm gonna paint the morning gold
