Sunlight on the Run

Verse

Market stalls and cinnamon steam

Your laugh cuts through like a tambourine

Barefoot dust on the terracotta ground

You spin the color, I spin around

Mango juice running down your wrist

I'm already halfway to missed

Pre-Chorus

Is this the way it always starts

A stranger sketching maps on my heart

Tell me why my feet won't stay

Every road keeps leading your way

Chorus

You're the sunlight on the run

Chasing shadows, catching one

Golden dust behind your feet

I keep following the heat

Can't slow down, don't want to

I'm falling like the sunlight on the run

Verse

Now it's lanterns and a river's hush

Your hand finds mine in the evening rush

Drums are calling from the far bazaar

You said follow me, I said you're the star

Copper bangles ringing soft and slow

Every step I take, I let it show

Pre-Chorus

Is this the way it always starts

A stranger sketching maps on my heart

Tell me why my feet won't stay

Every road keeps leading your way

Chorus

You're the sunlight on the run

Chasing shadows, catching one

Golden dust behind your feet

I keep following the heat

Can't slow down, don't want to

I'm falling like the sunlight on the run

Bridge

Maybe I don't need the map at all

Maybe I just need to hear you call

Every border blurs when you're this near

Home is just wherever you appear

Chorus

You're the sunlight on the run

Chasing shadows, catching one

Golden dust behind your feet

I keep following the heat

Can't slow down, don't want to

I'm falling like the sunlight on the run
