Into Day

(Verse 1)
I promised you I’d do my best
I’d stand up, take my turn
You brought me into happiness
And we figured out who we were
But the leaves grow green, it’s almost time
To find us moving on
You and I, it’s hard to find
That eventually we’re gone

(Prechorus 1)
Because the nature of where we are
Says that soon we’ll part
And I can’t keep you in my arms
Because the nature of where we’re at
Says it’s time to move on past
And I can’t hold on any longer

(Chorus 1)
So take a cold breath before the sun is up
We have to leave at dawn
Remember what I said at dusk
Sing me one more song
And when it’s time to leave, hold me one more time
Then turn and walk away
I'll burn these memories of you into my mind
While we walk on into day

(Verse 2)
Driving in the dark with no headlights on
But we somehow found our path
I hear your words while you’re on my arm
Echoing your laugh
Pushing through the fog in the middle of the night
When I stop, I realize
Soon you will be out of sight
But I hear your laugh when I close my eyes

(Prechorus 2)
But the nature of where we are
Says that soon we’ll part
And I can’t keep you in my arms
Because the nature of where we’re at
Says it’s time to move on past
And I can’t hold on any longer

(Chorus 2)
So take a cold breath before the sun is up
We have to leave at dawn
Remember what I said at dusk
Sing me one more song
And when it’s time to leave, hold me one more time
Then turn and walk away
I'll burn these memories of you into my mind
While we walk on into day

(Bridge)
Things have changed so much for us
But there’s so much left to find
So walk the path and take your chance
Even if I’m not by your side
There’s so much on this path ahead
So rest while you have the chance
Feel your heartbeat in your chest
And walk on while you can

(Chorus 3)
So take a deep breath, it’s almost up
See our stars before they blink out
We’ll have to leave, I know we must
But you can sing to me for now
It’s time to leave, hold me one more time
Don’t walk away just yet
Let me burn your smile into my mind
Let me memorize your breath

(Chorus 4)
So take a cold breath before the sun is up
We have to leave at dawn
Remember what I said at dusk
Sing me one more song
And when it’s time to leave, hold me one more time
Then turn and walk away
I'll burn these memories of you into my mind
While we walk on into day
I’ll hold these pieces of you that I’ve found are mine
Then we’ll walk on into day
