Lyrics
[INTRO]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
The radio is low
But I don't wanna go
[VERSE 1]
I woke before the city stirred
With your laughter in my head
You were barefoot in the kitchen
Singing songs you half-forgot
Coffee cooling by the window
Your reflection on the glass
You caught me watching, raised an eyebrow
Said, "You planning on just standing there?"
[PRE-CHORUS]
I couldn't name it if I tried
This strange new peace I feel inside
No grand confession, no big sign
Just your hand reaching out for mine
[CHORUS]
You are my first light
My beautiful kind of madness
You turn the ordinary
Into something I could never imagine
Every room remembers you
Every road feels different too
You are my first light
The first light breaking through
[POST-CHORUS]
Ooh, yeah
The first light breaking through
Ooh, yeah
Everything looks new
[VERSE 2]
At a quarter past three, we're dancing
While the neighbors dream upstairs
You keep missing every second beat
I keep pretending not to care
You steal the words right from my notebook
Draw a crooked little heart
Then you write beneath my best line
"Don't get famous. Don't get smart."
[PRE-CHORUS]
I used to leave before the dawn
Before the feeling settled on
But now the morning comes too soon
When every hour belongs to you
[CHORUS]
You are my first light
My beautiful kind of madness
You turn the ordinary
Into something I could never imagine
Every room remembers you
Every road feels different too
You are my first light
The first light breaking through
[BRIDGE]
I used to measure every doorway
By how fast I could escape
Keep my heart behind a locked door
Leave no evidence I'd stayed
Now your shoes are by the staircase
And your song is in the hall
Funny how the place I feared most
Is the place I want it all
[FINAL CHORUS]
You are my first light
My beautiful kind of madness
You made a home of moments
I once thought were too small to matter
If the years should change our view
I'll remember this with you
You are my first light
The first light breaking through
[OUTRO]
Ooh, yeah
Your shoes beside the stairs
Ooh, yeah
Your song is everywhere
