1 **Before You Become Morning** (Remastered)

[Verse 1] You are still asleep in the hush before the day A thin line of light finds your shoulder where you lay I don’t want to wake you I want to touch your hand And that little contradiction is more than I can stand I envy the morning so harmless and bright It touches you softly and calls itself light [Pre-Chorus] So I hold my breath and stay where you are Close enough to lose myself not close enough by far [Chorus] Before the day finds you Before the light names you Before you become morning let me love you here Before the world takes shape Before the room turns clear Before you become morning let me hold you near You sleeping beside me is enough to undo me You opening your eyes is enough to save me Before you become morning stay with me here [Verse 2] Last night, you laughed in my arms till your voice forgot its edges You called my name again and again then fell into the quiet I remember that silence like a song beneath my skin And I want to pull you closer but the morning is coming in So I look for your fingers somewhere in your sleep You move just a little and my heart forgets to keep [Pre-Chorus] You come closer dreaming like you know where I am And I can’t help falling for you all over again [Chorus] Before the day finds you Before the light names you Before you become morning let me love you here Before the world takes shape Before the room turns clear Before you become morning let me hold you near You sleeping beside me is enough to undo me You opening your eyes is enough to save me Before you become morning stay with me here [Bridge] I love you is not enough You matter to me is too small I want you sounds too rough I want to keep you safe is not the whole truth at all I want to touch you but never carelessly I want to know all of you I want to live where your laughter happens So I hold you not lightly, not carelessly Just close enough for the whole world to grow quiet [Final Chorus] Before the day finds you Before the light names you Before you become morning let me love you here Before the world takes shape Before the room turns clear Before you become morning let me hold you near You sleeping beside me is enough to undo me You saying my name makes the world worth staying in Before you become morning before you become morning stay with me here [Outro] The morning comes but I still can’t let you go You say my name and the whole world turns soft Before you become morning I already know You are the place I want to stay
