Chasing The Dawn

[Verse 1]
Shadows trace my breathing
Clock hands stuck at 3
Walls lean in and listen
To secrets out of key
Eyes wide in the blackness
I count the days gone wrong
Every star feels distant
Every minute too long
[Chorus]
I’ve been chasing the dawn through a sleepless sky
Reaching out for a sun I can’t define
If there’s a crack in the dark
Let it fall into my heart
I’m just longing for the light
For the light
For the light
[Verse 2]
Footprints fade behind me
On corridors of glass
Every step is echo
Of someone I once was
Name burned out to embers
Still I say it slow
Somewhere past this midnight
Something starts to glow (oh)
[Chorus]
I’ve been chasing the dawn through a sleepless sky
Reaching out for a sun I can’t define
If there’s a crack in the dark
Let it fall into my heart
I’m just longing for the light
For the light
For the light
[Bridge]
If I disappear
Will the morning know my name? (know my name)
If I stand right here
Will the horizon look my way?
[Chorus]
I’ve been chasing the dawn through a sleepless sky
Reaching out for a sun I can’t define
If there’s a crack in the dark
Let it fall into my heart
I’m just longing for the light
For the light
For the light (yeah)
I’m still longing for the light
For the light
For the light
