It's 4: 30am and the lights on the streets are still on
It's still dark enough to need them
But I see the sunlight coming from the horizon
And I'm driving on towards the glow
All alone
All alone

Now the sky turned the colors
That I haven't seen for a while
I had almost forgotten
It feels good to know
That they still make me notice it's there
And I think that you'd notice too

If you were here to see this
If you were here to see for yourself
If you were here to see this
I'd have everything that this picture is missing

Now when I hit the coastline
I'm barely awake at the wheel
That I'd been gripping for hours
The site of the waves crashing down
Keeps me perfectly still
And I'm not surprised to find you
Where you wanted to be
With your eyes on the ocean
You tell me about the most beautiful sky
that you've seen
And you say to me

If you were here to see this
If you were here to see for yourself
If you were here to see this
I'd have everything that this picture would need

Now 4: 30am feels like years ago now that I'm here
But you'll watch me go on' we'll go on

And you'll be here to see this
Oh and you'll be here to see for yourself
When you'll be here to see this
Then I'll have everything that this picture would need
I'd have everything that I'd need

Now the sun's going down and I find myself driving alone
Heading back towards the glow
'cause if I chose to stay then this place
Would feel too much like home
And I'm sorry it took me so long to get to you
Now the sky's turning colors
But I know you're watching it too
