I Kept the Sun

4:52 a.m. in Fuchū. The party was over, everybody went home, and I stayed on the blanket with the last of the bubbles. Then a big red dog walked through the gate like he owned the park, and the morning got a lot better. We played, we walked, a train went by, and I finally watched the sun come up the way I wanted to. Turns out the dog has an owner. Turns out I know her. Stay after the credits. Someone has a few more shots to show you.

I drank the last toast / It tasted like ice and light
Lyrics
I drank the last toast
It tasted like ice and light
Everybody runs when lights come up at four
I took it like a slow song
I sat down when the dancing left
And let the sky get lighter
No one asked me to be early
So I wasn't
If you came for the party
You are late
If you came for a show
I already clocked out
Read all the lyricsShow less
Hook
The crowd went home
I kept the sun
I wear the dawn
Like it cost nothing
Don't call me a taxi
I already own the day
The crowd went home
And I stayed
I know the part where I should text my mother
I typed it once and got bored
Sleep is just another job
I put it off until noon
My heels still work
I just don't need them now
If you came for the party
You are late
If you came for a show
I already clocked out
Hook
The crowd went home
I kept the sun
I wear the dawn
Like it cost nothing
Don't call me a taxi
I already own the day
The crowd went home
And I stayed
Come sit if you can take the morning
Don't replay what I'm done with
The music is gone
The light is not
The crowd went home
I kept the sun
I wear the dawn
Like it cost nothing
Don't call me a taxi
I already own the day
The crowd went home
And I stayed
I drank the last toast
It tasted like ice and light
And I stayed
