[Verse 1] I woke up in the driver’s seat before the first lights knew my name with yesterday upon the windshield and a sky I couldn’t frame The heater had gone silent but the glass was holding heat from a morning I still carry somewhere underneath I drew a circle with my finger just enough to borrow light a little piece of morning through a window turned to white [Pre-Chorus] For a moment I was certain something had slipped away I kept reading all the raindrops like they knew what I couldn’t say [Chorus] The sky was always there somewhere beyond the glass I kept tracing little circles watching all the colors pass The sky was always there hidden underneath the rain I was following the silence like it knew my name [Verse 2] The wipers crossed the windshield and divided up the rain Turning every passing streetlight into silver lines again The radio was barely speaking a voice beneath the sound Like a song I wasn’t searching for that somehow found me now The rearview held the roads behind me and the places I had been But the road ahead was waiting through the spaces in between [Pre-Chorus 2] I watched the morning move slowly across the empty seat A little bit of yesterday still warming up the streets [Chorus 2] The sky was always there somewhere beyond the glass I kept holding little moments like they were made to last The sky was always there closer than the rain could prove I was staring at the window while the light was moving through [Instrumental guitar solo 16 bars] [Bridge] My own breath upon the window was a shape that couldn’t stay A little disappearing doorway made of warmth that slipped away But the hand that drew the circle still remembers where it lay And the glass was never empty even after it turned grey [Final Chorus] The sky was always there even when I lost the view I was watching all the headlights turn the darkness into blue The sky was always there waiting somewhere out of sight When my finger touched the window there was still a little light Oh, the warmth was on my fingertips long after the glass went clear Not a picture left behind me but a warmth I still can feel The sky was always there closer than I thought it was
