Dawn

Wings are getting tired, I'm on my final branch

The rest have crumbled under weight of loves that didn't last

And I ground down all my teeth from shivering in my own mess

If my thoughts were an empty room, you'd surely see your breath

'Cause this cold that I've been feeling can't be quenched by quilts or flame

I need the comfort of another to end my lonesome ways

But it seems far-fetched that out there wait two eyes that can't see me

And shame has spoken, if I'm chosen, she must be so naive

Oh, I had cuts on my feet

'Cause I was running all night

Stumbling blind through the streets

I didn't care if I died

And when I thought I was lost

I caught a sight of her eyes and

She broke through the fog

And pulled me on

I needed light, and she was dawn

Oh, I'm flattered that you want me, but there's something on my chest

I don't have much to give you please don't steal what I have left

'Cause the rain is back, it's patiently waiting for a sign

To cover every inch of me when your roof gets bored and tired

But she brought a finger toward her lips, then showed me where she'd bruise

Said, "If that cloud is coming, I'll sit under it with you"

Oh, I had cuts on my feet

'Cause I was running all night

Stumbling blind through the streets

I didn't care if I died

And when I thought I was lost

I caught a sight of her eyes and

She broke through the fog

And pulled me on

I needed light, and she was dawn

Oh, I was wrought by my own, didn't think I would leave

'Til your shoulder touched mine when you sat next to me

Yeah, I was dead-way drunk, sippin' on Acres wine

I've been sobered up since you went through my life

Oh, I had cuts on my feet

'Cause I was running all night

Stumbling blind through the streets

I didn't care if I died

And when I thought I was lost

I caught a sight of her eyes and

She broke through the fog

And pulled me on

I needed light, and she was dawn
