[Intro] (I want you here) [Verse 1] I want you here until the last light fades Holding on through seasons, through the slow parade When my hands go cold and my voice slows down Carry me gently back into this town If you leave, I’ll follow like the tide We were stitched together long before we tried If I turn quiet, don’t call it wrong There’s nothing left that feels like home but your song [Refrain] Feathers alike, we’re built to fly the same sky, I know I swore I’d be okay alone, but that was just a show Can’t promise forever, storms will come and go But if forever finds us, then let it glow [Pre-Chorus] I can’t tell why the tears come slow I don’t think it’s possible to love you less, no Time might be short, but baby, I [Chorus] Will hold you till the daylight dies Till the daylight dies Till color slips from the sky Till the daylight dies [Verse 2] I want you to see how you look to me Like sunlight learning how to skitter off the sea You shrug and say you’re not that rare But every glance proves how much I care You say you’ll quit, like it’s some passing trend I laugh and promise I’ll be there till the end Even when you doubt and turn away I’ll be the quiet place where you can stay [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know what makes my heart run wild I only know I’m softer when you smile Hours are thin, but still, I [Chorus] Will hold you till the daylight dies Till the daylight dies Till color slips from the sky Till the daylight dies [Post-Chorus] Maybe we met in another time There was that same light in your eyes Don’t act surprised, I keep you close inside [Bridge] We’ll fold and mend the worn-out parts Scatter our names across the stars If the wind pulls us, we’ll return again Feathers mend together, feather to feather, kin [Chorus / Outro] I will hold you till the daylight dies Till the daylight dies Till color slips from the sky Till the daylight dies Feathers alike, we fly the same night Feathers alike, we keep the same light
