the first chase

i know you're still sleeping
but your silence does not change
we leave in the morning
thought i'd be hopping on the wrong plane

it fucks up my comprehension
how you turn things in slow motion
but i could stare at you all night, all day
until everything fades

our beloved daytime
could end in a first bite
the lights're so bright
this shoreline's a perfect place
with you and me tonight

the sun set square on your back
didn't stop me from staring
i could tell myself this lie all i want
but who am i fooling?

i could give you a pinky promise
or please choose a stranger's kiss
i swear i'll chase you down, but i can't go
unless you want me to
