PhoenixSonata - This Time (First light)

[intro] [the guitar comes in, then the violin gets up] [Verse 1] This time I'm walking down, not running from This time the fear is quiet, this time I'm not numb The street is waking up beneath my feet This time the air is mine, this time I breathe This time I'm falling, but I'm falling right This time the dark is just the end of night And if I lose my way, I'll lose it slow This time, this time — this time we go [Pre-Chorus] [softly, growing] Live Live Live [Chorus] Dawn breaks gold on rooftop steel We stayed up and made it real City wakes, the streets go bright Just the sun and us — first light [Verse 2] This time I'm coming up the stairs to stay This time the building wakes the same old way The kettle's on, the curtains hold the sun This time nobody in this house will run This time I don't count exits, don't count lies This time I count the mornings in your eyes The night is done — I'm not out here alone And this time, this time — this time we're home [Pre-Chorus] [softly, growing] Live Live Live [Chorus] Dawn breaks gold on rooftop steel We stayed up and made it real City wakes, the streets go bright Just the sun and us — first light [Bridge] We sat on the roof till the buildings went pale Cold coffee in a paper cup, your jacket on my knees Sirens backed off, the street went still First bus dragging sleep past the steel mill And I was such a fool to wait so long When you were here, and here is where I belong [Final Chorus] [full composition, one third higher] Dawn breaks gold on rooftop steel We stayed up and made it real City wakes, the streets go bright Just the sun and us — first light This feeling here, it's something new Just me and the dawn, and a moment with you Whatever morning comes, come what may — This time, this time — this time I stay [all together, exhale] Live Live Live [Outro] [guitar, natural fading final chord] Oh, walking down — this time with you Oh, taken back — this time it's true Walking down, walking down Listen to the sound This time, this time We're alive
