Empty Nest Sunrise

[Verse 1] In the morning time Coffee steam and quiet light I see the sunrise In your eyes, still bright Kitchen chairs in a crooked line All their names on the wall in pen The babies, they grew up fast Flew out, won’t fly back again [Chorus] At last we are home alone At last we are alone We’re dancing with the echoes In this house of stone Yeah, empty nest syndrome Oh my, baby, what to do now Let’s write a brand-new chapter Start right here, right now [Verse 2] In the night time I see the sun setting low On our lives, on our habits On the versions we used to know Hallway frames like a timeline Graduation gowns, missing shoes We’re laughing at the mess we were Crying at the quiet news [Chorus] At last we are home alone At last we are alone We’re singing with the echoes In this house of stone Yeah, empty nest syndrome Oh my, baby, what to do now Let’s write a brand-new chapter Start right here, right now [Bridge] Long walks on the beach Footprints fading in the foam RV maps on the counter Every back road feels like home I’m asking you, I’m asking you Let’s not do this on our own (oh no) Two rings, one horizon Let this love be what has grown [Chorus] At last we are home alone At last we are alone But we’re laughing with the echoes Turning emptiness to gold Yeah, empty nest syndrome Oh my, baby, here’s what we do now Pack the past in the rearview Drive our promise into now [Outro] In the morning time I see the sunrise in your eyes In the night time We chase it down the endless sky (hey)
