Before Sunrise

4:17 on the dashboard Streetlights fading one by one The city wears a softer color Like the night is coming undone Your jacket's lying on the backseat Still carrying your perfume I turn the radio down slowly And let the silence fill the room We drove without a destination Past every place we used to know You said we'd talk about tomorrow But neither one of us said no And I can feel the morning coming Through the glass, through the haze There's something in the quiet That we can't keep away Before sunrise Before the city wakes Before the headlights disappear And everything changes shape Give me one more minute One more second in the dark I don't need forever I just need to keep this spark Before sunrise Before we go our separate ways Let me remember who we were Before the night became today The coffee shop is opening Someone's sweeping up the street A stranger walks beneath the awning While your fingers slip from me We don't make any promises We don't pretend we know what's next You look at me and almost smile Like you're trying to memorize my face And I can hear the morning coming In the engines down the road Some things only feel this beautiful Right before they have to go Before sunrise Before the city wakes Before the headlights disappear And everything changes shape Give me one more minute One more second in the dark I don't need forever I just need to keep this spark Before sunrise Before we go our separate ways Let me remember who we were Before the night became today Maybe we were never meant To make it past the night Maybe some things only exist Under certain kinds of light I won't ask you where this goes I won't ask you to stay I'll just keep this moment Before it slips away No more promises No more pretending Just your hand And the morning ending No more questions No need to know Somewhere between goodbye And letting go Before sunrise Before the city wakes Before the headlights disappear And everything changes shape Give me one more minute One more second in the dark I don't need forever I just need to keep this spark Before sunrise Before we go our separate ways I'll remember how you looked at me When the night became..
