Lyrics

Last Thought, First Thought

[Verse 1]
You dim my whole day down
With one soft word
I set my shoes by the door
Then I forget the world

Your name on my tongue
Like honey on glass
I keep it close to the edge
Till the hours pass

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the room goes still
You come in slow
Like a silver note
Only I know

[Chorus]
You are my last thought
Before sleep
(Last thought, last thought)
You are my first thought
When I wake
(First thought, first thought)
In the dark, in the dawn
You stay on
You stay on

[Verse 2]
I hear your laugh in the sheets
I hear it in rain
Even the cold kitchen tile
Knows your name

My heart does that little leap
At the start of day
Before the sun finds the blinds
You’re already there

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the room goes still
You come in slow
Like a silver note
Only I know

[Chorus]
You are my last thought
Before sleep
(Last thought, last thought)
You are my first thought
When I wake
(First thought, first thought)
In the dark, in the dawn
You stay on
You stay on

[Bridge]
Maybe time can scatter
A hundred little sparks
But you’re the one warm ember
Living in my heart

If the night goes deeper
If the morning breaks
You are where my mind goes
Before I wake

[Final Chorus]
You are my last thought
Before sleep
(Last thought, last thought)
You are my first thought
When I wake
(First thought, first thought)
In the dark, in the dawn
You stay on
You stay on
You stay on
