First Light (feat. Spencer Jones)

I feel it coming before it hits the window and shades
Here in the desert it finds me the same time every day
Fully aware I will hurt if I open my eyes
I keep them shut tight and go back to a time

First light, I still remember that long drive
Through the cold of the winter there burned a fire
A fire so wild and new
And a deep red painted 'cross the sky
Made you catch your breath, as do the best things in life
Your heart beat, it moved to the rhythm of mine
Mine at first light

I opened a letter dated March the 13th, a Sunday
You said "You were in love with me"
Made it quite clear that you'd never felt this way
It's ironic, it's funny when eyes see perfection they cry
Oh, if they lose it, when they lose it they die

First light, I still remember that long drive
Through the cold of the winter there burned a fire
A fire so wild and new
And a deep red painted 'cross the sky
Made you catch your breath, as do the best things in life
Your heartbeat, it moved to the rhythm of mine
Mine at first light

First light, can't help but remember that long drive
Watching the embers grow cold
And with eyes red, I choked on the words that were never said
Like strangers, we said our goodbyes
At first-

No, I won't lose you, so I stand in the path of the train
And angry, the passengers say that "This man is insane"
But you come hold me
And say, "Why would you leave me? You know I'm no good on my own"
Life is too cold to grow old all alone

But it's all in my mind
And I'll ache if I wake
Be filled with desire
Consumed by years of mistakes
But if I close my eyes
I'm sure you'll be mine
If I close my eyes
I know you'll be mine
'Til
