Verse 1 Torn between the night and the morning light, I chase the echoes of a dream I can't rewrite. (Slipping sideways...) Every heartbeat’s caught between the hush and the roar, A quiet storm I’ve felt before. Pre-Chorus You said, “Hold on, don’t fade away,” But I’ve been drifting through the day. (Holding breath, counting stars...) Is this the price of feeling too much? Chorus I’m half awake in the fall, Crashing soft, then standing tall. Burning bright, then lost again, Like the sun behind the rain. (Oh no, not again...) But I rise, and I run, 'Til the setting of the sun. Verse 2 Tethered to a truth I’ve outgrown, Building bridges from bones I’ve thrown. (Don’t look back...) Every mirror shows a different face, But I still search for grace. Pre-Chorus Tears on the wheel, laughs in the lane, Somewhere between pleasure and pain. (Radio’s playing our ghost...) I never chose to feel this deep. Chorus I’m half awake in the fall, Crashing soft, then standing tall. Burning bright, then lost again, Like the sun behind the rain. (Whispers turn into screams...) But I rise, and I run, 'Til the setting of the sun. Bridge (soft to rifting crescendo) It’s the quiet that breaks me, (Not the noise...) The choice that shakes me, (Not the void...) If I’m both sinner and saint, Let me paint— With all the colors in between. Final Chorus (explodes into full crescendo) I’m half awake in the fall, Crashing soft, then standing tall. I’ll bend, I’ll break, I’ll feel it all, Just to hear the silence call. (Sing it back...) I rise, and I run, 'Til the setting of the sun. Outro 'Til the setting... of the sun. (We never were just one...)
