[Intro — soft piano, distant city ambience]
Every night…
Ends with a sunrise.
Maybe…
That’s the point.
[Verse 1]
The skyline traded stars for blue,
The night slipped by before we knew,
Empty streets and golden skies,
A brand new story in my eyes,
High heels resting by the door,
I don’t need them anymore,
Every step that brought me here,
Left behind another fear.
[Pre-Chorus]
I came searching…
For excitement…
But I found…
A little more…
[Chorus]
This is the morning after,
The city wears a softer glow,
Every laugh,
Every light,
Became a part of who I know,
This is the morning after,
No regrets to leave behind,
The night’s gone,
But in my heart,
Its colors never left my mind.
[Verse 2]
Yesterday feels miles away,
Yet somehow closer than today,
Every face and every song,
Helped me learn where I belong,
Neon dreams may fade with dawn,
But they never truly disappear,
Every memory lights the road,
Whenever I need hope.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every ending…
Starts another…
Open door…
[Chorus]
This is the morning after,
The city wears a softer glow,
Every laugh,
Every light,
Became a part of who I know,
This is the morning after,
No regrets to leave behind,
The night’s gone,
But in my heart,
Its colors never left my mind.
[Bridge]
Maybe paradise…
Was never a place…
Maybe it was every fearless step…
Every chance I chose to take…
Every person…
Who helped write this night with me.
[Final Chorus]
This is the morning after,
And I’m smiling at the sun,
Every ending,
Every chapter,
Means another’s just begun,
This is the morning after,
I can finally see it clear,
Sin City changed me…
But it never changed…
Who I am.
[Outro — fading vocal]
Goodnight…
Good morning…
Until next time…
