rising sun

Quiet mornings, locked up doors

Counting footsteps on the hardwood floors Taught too early how to bend

and break But every promise that they had to fake Shadows followed

where

she used to walk Cold indifference in the way they'd talk She

learned to armor up and hide away

Waiting for the skies to turn gray

And her heart was a castle with a boarded gate Told herself

that gentle was a trap to hate

Then you walked in like a melody

And started breaking every piece of me

Oh, you smile like the morning breaking through the town

Tearing every brick of my armor down You love the pop songs

playing on the radio

And the sweet romance in every video You look at me like

I'm the only one you see

Healing every ghost that used to haunt me

Yeah, I'm scared to fall,

yeah, I'm learning how With the man who loves me here right

now

Now she hums along to every catchy tune

Underneath the silver of a quiet moon Watching old time movies on

the living room rug

Safe inside the shelter of a steady hug

You don't rush the winter in her fragile mind

You just leave the gentle kind of love behind Like a spark

that catches in the dark So deep,

keeping every promise that you said you'd keep

'Cause her heart was a castle with a boarded gate

Told herself that gentle was a trap to hate

Then you walked in like a melody

And started breaking every piece of me

Oh, you smile like the morning breaking through the town

Tearing every heavy brick of my armor down You love the pop

songs playing on the radio

And the sweet romance in every video You look at me like

I'm the only one you see

Healing every ghost that used to haunt me

Yeah, I'm scared to fall,

yeah, I'm learning how With the man who loves me here right

now

She loves babies, she loves quiet grace Seeing all the kindness written

on your face And that smile of hers,

God, it lights a room Chasing out the winter,

making flowers bloom You don't ever raise your voice or make her

guess

You just hold her close and turn away the mess

First time in her life she doesn't have to run

You're her whole world and you're her rising sun

Oh, you smile like the morning breaking through the town Tearing every

heavy brick of my armor down And the sweet romance in every

video You love the pop songs playing on the radio You look

at me like I'm the only one you see

Healing every ghost that used to haunt me

Yeah, I'm scared to fall,

yeah, I'm learning how With the man who loves me here right

now

Right here, right now You're the gate

is open and the walls are down With the smile

that

lights a whole town You're my whole world and I'm finally

safe
