[Verse]
GYou are the Cfirst thing I Gsee
When I Gopen my Ceyes when I Gwake from a Emdream
You're the Glight through a Crip in thGe seams
GBurst forth from the Cnight onto Gdust as iEmt gleams
[Chorus]
But with the Ammorning sun we also Csee
Blurry Amshapes appear so graduaClly
I'm so Amafraid to feel this way aCgain
But I let you inG  
[Verse]
GLove is the Cloudest Gof sounds
It's the Ghymn in the Cair, it's the Gdirge from tEmhe ground
GYou've got a Chold ovGer me
Until my Gworld disapCpears and you're aGll I Emsee
[Chorus]
But in Amsolitude we're often Cchased
By the tAmruths we are afraid to Cface
And it takes Ammore than just a fleeting Cdream
To set us freeG  
[Verse]
Like how we Amtried to skip a sinking Cstone
Just to Amwatch how long that it could Cgo
I'm so Amafraid to fall in love Cagain
I know how it endsG  
[Outro]
G C G
G C G Em
G C G
G C G Em
And if I try and skip a sinking stone
Maybe it'll be the one that goes
Forever as it starts its flight
Towards the horizon line

[Verse]

G C G

You are the first thing I see

G C G Em

When I open my eyes when I wake from a dream

G C G

You're the light through a rip in the seams

G C G Em

Burst forth from the night onto dust as it gleams

[Chorus]

Am C

But with the morning sun we also see

Am C

Blurry shapes appear so gradually

Am C

I'm so afraid to feel this way again

But I let you in

[Verse]

G C G

Love is the loudest of sounds

G C G Em

It's the hymn in the air, it's the dirge from the ground

G C G

You've got a hold over me

G C G Em

Until my world disappears and you're all I see

[Chorus]

Am C

But in solitude we're often chased

Am C

By the truths we are afraid to face

Am C

And it takes more than just a fleeting dream

To set us free

[Verse]

Am C

Like how we tried to skip a sinking stone

Am C

Just to watch how long that it could go

Am C

I'm so afraid to fall in love again

I know how it ends

[Outro]

And if I try and skip a sinking stone

Maybe it'll be the one that goes

Forever as it starts its flight

Towards the horizon line
