[Intro] First sunlight between the towers Paper cups and half-cold coffee Breathe it in, this brand new morning air Daylight’s calling us [Verse 1] Waiting at the light, lift a headphone off one ear City voices running like a soundtrack in the rear Nodding to the rhythm of a day that just begun Feels like maybe, yeah, today we’re gonna run Crumbled wrappers, ticket stubs inside my worn-out bag Half-made plans and little notes on corners of a pad Holding everything, but I don’t feel overwhelmed Even if we’re late, we’ll find our way and laugh again [Chorus] Before the morning rush begins All the little hopes start waking up “Maybe someday” turning into “why not now?” Shouting out loud, we’re ready somehow On this corner glowing gold and blue I can feel the spark in me and you We’ll be alright, yeah, even if we trip sometimes Morning starts with us, we’re gonna let it shine [Verse 2] Friends by the station, trading stories in the breeze Future in their faces, so much light it makes us squint No more useless “what if” questions holding us in place Hands inside our pockets while we chase the clouds in space Unsent messages, old chats frozen in the spring All those “how you doing?” lines we never chose to bring Leave them in the drafts, ‘cause we’ve got better words today “Come and meet us, there’s a sunrise on the way” [Chorus] Before the morning rush begins All the sleepy dreams start getting loud Nights we said that we were “fine” and laughed it off Now we drink them back, we’re strong enough Through the shining sky above the streets Feels like we can see what we can’t see We’ll be alright, yeah, even if we fall sometimes Morning starts with us, we’ll turn it into light [Bridge] Every little “maybe” that we left along the road (hey) Starts to dance around us in this early golden glow We were walking circles on a map without a line Standing still together might be moving us just fine [Chorus] Before the morning rush begins Take a deeper breath and count to ten All our crooked tries and clumsy hearts We make room for every part On this bright and busy avenue Soft we say it, “hey, I’m here with you” We’ll be alright, yeah, even if we’re scared inside Morning starts with us, we walk into the sky
