Sunrise

Block out the harsh light of day, I am not ready to blink.
Cause we spent the whole night laying bare all the weird things we think.
And I don't presume to assume what this will come to mean.
But I know I am rich in so many things that I wish I could feel.

But I feel like I could talk all night to you.
And if you're not going to stop my mouth that's exactly what I'll do.
I'll do it gladly. I think you're lovely.
And it's been some time since I've seen sunrise above me.

See I've got these things that I need to feel free from, things that need put in the ground.
So sometimes I wake up on airplanes and can't remember where I'm bound.
Sometimes I wake up in strange beds and don't know where I am.
Sometimes I wake up in my room dreaming the weight of where I have been.

But I feel like I could talk all night to you.
And if you're not going to stop my mouth that's exactly what I'll do.
I'll do it gladly. I think you're lovely.
And it's been some time since I've seen sunrise above me.

I can measure the space 'tween our faces in inches, the road that I drove here in miles.
I can measure each moment that's passed since I caught that smile.
I can measure the hours that remain 'til my train pulls out again.
But I can't measure the weight of the part of my heart I will leave in New York, I will leave in Boston.

But I feel like I could talk all night to you.
And if you're not going to stop my mouth that's exactly what I'll do.
I'll do it gladly. I think you're lovely.
And it's been some time since I've seen sunrise above me.
