New Day Is Coming

[Verse 1] Empty streets in a black-and-white town We were flickering screens with the sound turned down Writing names in the dust on the window pane Watching midnight repeats of the same old pain Kept our hopes in a box by the bedroom wall Afraid to sleep, afraid to feel at all [Pre-Chorus] But there’s a thin gold line through the blinds right now And the silence breaks like a cheer from a waking crowd I can feel something shift in the shape of the air Like a record clicks and the song starts there [Chorus] [laut] First light, first light, we’re running out the door First light, first light, not hiding anymore We were lost, now we’re waking up inside First light, first light, this is our time [Verse 2] Coffee steam on your lips as the sky turns pale City sighs like a train on a rusted rail All the ghosts from the hall fade in rearview glass Every no, every tear, in a slower class Now your laugh cuts through like an old pop song On a worn-out tape that still plays strong [Pre-Chorus] There’s a soft warm gleam on your tired face And the blue in your eyes looks like open space Every crack in the night lets the daylight through It’s a wide awake world when I stand with you [Chorus] [laut] First light, first light, we’re running out the door First light, first light, not hiding anymore We were lost, now we’re waking up inside First light, first light, this is our time [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, first light, first light Oh-oh, hold on, hold tight Oh-oh, first light, first light This is our time, this is our time [Bridge] [leise] We were counting the cracks in the ceiling above Now we’re drawing our names in the air with love All the shadows we feared in the dead of night Are just stories that fade in the honest light [Bridge – Build-Up] [laut] Let the last dark song keep spinning away We’re a bright new track on a brand new day Every scar in our skin is a silver line We’re the proof right now that the world can shine [Chorus] [laut] First light, first light, we’re running out the door First light, first light, not hiding anymore We were lost, now we’re waking up inside First light, first light, this is our time [Outro] First light, first light, echo in my veins First light, first light, washing off the rain Side by side as the dark falls out of sight First light, first light, we are all right
