Lyrics

[Intro]
4:03 breath on the window
One small vow, under my breath

[Verse 1]
Cold hands on porcelain, kitchen light like frost
The window is a mouth of black
I won't give the dark a lifetime to hold
Just hours I can carry in my chest

[Build]
If the world still turns beyond this glass
If color waits behind this bruise-blue sky
If I keep my pulse between the minutes
I'll trade each minute for another try
Stay with the ache, lean into the cold
I'll stay till the sky turns gold

[Chorus]
I'll stay till the sky turns gold
Even as the night pulls hard, I won't fold
My heartbeat answers no and yes and hold
I'll stay till the sky turns gold, till it turns gold
I'll stay till the sky turns gold

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Jaw locked, coffee bitter as the hours
Keys weigh heavy like a story I don't trust
I've left mid-night before; the door remembers
Tonight I stand inside the dust

[Build 2]
At the lip of the world a thin line warms
Black thins to gray, then irons into rust
I stack my breaths like coins against the window
Let the cold argue; I answer with my pulse
Don't ask forever. Ask for this threshold
I'll stay till the sky turns gold

[Chorus 2]
I'll stay till the sky turns gold
When the edges burn to honey over stone
The night can keep its stories; I keep hold
I'll stay till the sky turns gold, till it turns gold
I'll stay till the sky turns gold

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
If I shake, will I vanish off the glass
Say my name, let the dark release its grasp
If I break, can morning carry what I can't
I'll stay till the sky turns gold. I can

[Final Build]
Color crawls back into everything we own
Streetlight blinks out; I refuse to
The first bird throws a spark across the roofs
I swore so small, but listen how it grows
I'll stay till the sky turns gold, till the sky turns gold
I'll stay till the sky turns gold

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Hands warming, breath steady, the sky turns gold
I'll stay till the sky turns gold
