Homesick for the Morning

[Verse 1] You wake up with the dawn I wake up when it dies You count freckles in the glow I count years behind my eyes Curtains pinned like prison bars Dust dancing where I can’t go I trace the window with my hand Feel a warmth I’ll never know [Chorus] I miss the sun Like a childhood I can’t remember Like a promise I broke Halfway through December I miss the sun Burn my name into the sky Let it hurt Let it blind Just to feel alive [Verse 2] Photographs on your fridge Everyone is gold and bright I’m the blur behind the glass Cropping myself out of your life You talk about that beach How the water cut the glare I nod like I was there that day Biting back the empty stare [Chorus] [Bridge] I used to run through fields at noon Bare feet Blue veins Wild and new Now every shadow looks like truth Every morning feels like proof That I traded every summer day For teeth and time and staying away From everything that made me human Everything that made me bloom [Chorus]
