Four AM again, and I'm still wide awake

Outside my window, snow turns into rain

Been stuck in this loop since God knows when

Like some fucked up season that won't end

But there's something in the air tonight

A scent I haven't known since I was five

When Dad would let me stay up late

To watch the northern stars escape

And just like that

The ice cracks

After the longest winter

My lungs remember how to breathe

Here comes the light that we forgot

Breaking through skin that's tied in knots

Here comes the rush we can't explain

Like lightning through our veins

Here comes the world, awake at last

The frozen moment's finally passed

And everything's awake, alive, alive again

That girl from last December called today

Said the flowers in her garden went insane

Grew right through concrete just to see the sun

Like they knew something that we don't

I walked past our old spot yesterday

The bench where we got high and watched the trains

The graffiti's faded but I swear I heard

The earth beneath it stir and whisper words

And just like that

The ice cracks

After the longest winter

My lungs remember how to breathe

Here comes the light that we forgot

Breaking through skin that's tied in knots

Here comes the rush we can't contain

Like wildfire through our veins

Here comes the world, awake at last

The frozen moment's finally passed

And everything's renewed, alive, alive again

Some nights I still feel buried

Under memories we carried

All the midnight vows we made

All the debts we never paid

But I saw a kid draw chalk across the street

A crooked sun with colors way too bright

And something in my chest just clicked

Like winter finally lost its grip

Here comes the light that we forgot

Breaking through skin that's tied in knots

Here comes the rush we can't explain

Like lightning through our veins

Here comes the world, awake at last

The frozen moment's finally passed

And everything's in bloom, alive

Everything's renewed, alive

Everything's alive, alive again
