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
