Lyrics

I woke up to the morning sunshine
One step from the past, one thought from the line
Where everyone stands just hoping for a glimpse of time
Just floating between things lost and what we could find

Maybe it's the place we're all looking for
Short of the shame and shy of the cure
Ahead of before and behind the longing for more
One step from the fall, one wing short of the soar

Maybe it's a sign I've been missing all this time
But my anchors and glories keep dulling the shine
Or, maybe it's your warm skin pressed against mine
Sounds of the new day
And the fog of the wine
Or, maybe it's just wishful thinking
Hope for where words are still sleeping
The calm before the world starts breathing again

It slips from my mind if I thing too much
And, lord knows I'm not nearly strong enough
Handcuffed to sorrows and addicted to touch
Tomorrows before me like a hopeful crutch

I lay in this space a little longer each time
Until the noise from the edge changes my mind
Steals me away as if by design
Is me letting go part of the crime

Maybe it's a sign I've been missing all this time
But my anchors and glories keep dulling the shine
Or, maybe it's your warm skin pressed against mine
Sounds of the new day
Or the fog of the wine
Or, maybe it's just wishful thinking
Hope for where words are still sleeping
The calm before the world starts breathing again

It's only real if you believe it, then it's right there before you
It's only gone if you leave it
Then it's gone, gone, gone

Is that where all the answers come from
The quiet spaces between two storms
I've lost and I've traded from both sides now
Does knowing the difference change me somehow
