Two Boats at Dawn

[Intro] In the glow of the stakelights, I count the miles in between A trophy in the glass, and your quiet phone screen [Verse 1] I chased a skyline, built with praise and gold But I woke up to a room where your stories go untold The clock keeps ticking louder than your soft goodnights And I’m reaching out through a chasm of neon lights [Pre-Chorus] Tell me how to cross this ache I didn’t mean to wake If love is a bridge, why does it bend and break? [Chorus] I crossed a line for my own bright dream Left your voice behind in a silver stream If you’re on the other side, I’m still the same Two boats at dawn in a widening rain [Verse 2] I wore the sun on my sleeve, called it success But the shelves echo empty of your tender caress I traded together for a solitary crown Now silence wears the echo of your name all around [Pre-Chorus] I’m counting the nights I forgot to be present for If love is a map, where did we end up, what for? [Chorus] I crossed a line for my own bright dream Left your voice behind in a silver stream If you’re on the other side, I’m still the same Two boats at dawn in a widening rain [Bridge] Could a whisper redraw the stars between us two Could a heartbeat pull the distance through? [Chorus] I crossed a line for my own bright dream Left your voice behind in a silver stream If you’re on the other side, I’m still the same Two boats at dawn in a widening rain [Outro] Someday I’ll learn to turn the tide back home Until then I’ll carry your memory like a compass shown
