Lyrics
Used to wait for the world to slow
Used to love the silence all alone
Cold coffee sippin' at four A.M.
Like the stars were my only friends
Roadways always felt so still
Every night a new dream to build
Never thought I'd trade that view
For another kind of truth
Used to live under the moonlight
Used to run with the streetlights
Now I find it in the sunrise
Under different skies
Now I'm up before the morning wakes
Hot coffee while daylight breaks
Hear birds as the world comes alive
Seeing the sun rise changed my life
Warm air, quiet state of mind
Same old dream just a different time
Never thought this is what I'd find
Morning feels like it's all mine
Used to live under the moonlight
Used to run with the streetlights
Now I find it in the sunrise
Under different skies
Moon still shines as morning wakes
Sun still sets every single day
Found out that they both led me
To the man I'm supposed to be
Never changed what was deep inside
Just lookin' through brighter skies
Guess the fire never needed new
Just a different point of view
Never lost it
Never changed
Just kept growin'
Day by day
Same old heartbeat
Different time
Same old fire
Different skies
Used to live under the moonlight
Used to run with the streetlights
Now I find it in the sunrise
Under different skies
Morning knows
What midnight knew
Nothing changed
But my view
Used to love the silence all alone
Cold coffee sippin' at four A.M.
Like the stars were my only friends
Roadways always felt so still
Every night a new dream to build
Never thought I'd trade that view
For another kind of truth
Used to live under the moonlight
Used to run with the streetlights
Now I find it in the sunrise
Under different skies
Now I'm up before the morning wakes
Hot coffee while daylight breaks
Hear birds as the world comes alive
Seeing the sun rise changed my life
Warm air, quiet state of mind
Same old dream just a different time
Never thought this is what I'd find
Morning feels like it's all mine
Used to live under the moonlight
Used to run with the streetlights
Now I find it in the sunrise
Under different skies
Moon still shines as morning wakes
Sun still sets every single day
Found out that they both led me
To the man I'm supposed to be
Never changed what was deep inside
Just lookin' through brighter skies
Guess the fire never needed new
Just a different point of view
Never lost it
Never changed
Just kept growin'
Day by day
Same old heartbeat
Different time
Same old fire
Different skies
Used to live under the moonlight
Used to run with the streetlights
Now I find it in the sunrise
Under different skies
Morning knows
What midnight knew
Nothing changed
But my view
