[Intro — already moving, bright, half-spoken] You're late. It's fine. I started morning without you. The sun came up eventually. I had mine on by four. [Verse 1] I found the one part that would take the whole thing down. Nobody had drawn it. I drew it. Moved it. Green. They booked a meeting to ask what I thought it meant. Every locked door is pretending. Every ceiling has a hinge. I can see the joints in everything now. I can tell where anything begins. [Pre-Chorus] Sleep's a habit for the slower people. Hunger is a bell I can ignore. Someone said, “You look tired.” I heard, “No one here has done this before.” [Chorus] I don't need the sun, I'm running on the one I borrowed. Everything's begun, And nothing has to wait for tomorrow. Look at me go. Look at me go. I don't need the sun, I'm running on the one I borrowed. [Verse 2] Seventeen tabs, seventeen futures, Every one lit green. Four a.m., I order a keyboard— By Thursday it'll sound like me. Started three things before breakfast, Every third bubble in the thread is mine. Bought a second phone so nothing has to sleep. I'll catch the cost somewhere ahead in time. I put the bill into the future. The future says it understands. [Pre-Chorus 2] Coffee's only how I keep the score now. Someone asks how long I've been awake. They keep mistaking height for danger Because they only know the floor. [Chorus] I don't need the sun, I'm running on the one I borrowed. Everything's begun, And nothing has to wait for tomorrow. Look at me go. Look at me go. I don't need the sun, I'm running on the one I borrowed. [Bridge — vocal begins outrunning the beat] Streetlights change before I reach them. Every green arrives on cue. Every wire behind the plaster Hums like it already knew. The city has been trying to tell me I was always meant to make it move. Then the second phone lights on the counter. There you are. You don't ask me to come down. You say, “Go on.” So listen— [Final Chorus — enters one bar early and accelerates] I don't need the sun, I'm running on the one I borrowed— Everything's begun— Nothing waits for tomorrow— Look at me go, look at me go, look at me— I don't need the sun— [Outro — still accelerating] So the keyboard gets here Thursday, And I worked out how the whole city could— [HARD CUT — mid-phrase, no tail]
