Track Insight / Lyrics
Dad's old lantern, swinging low
Flickers tales in puddles below
Soap and bleach, his ghost with me
Whispers secrets to the city's spree
I count the footprints coming close,
Silent beats on sodden roads
Racing with the dawn up high
Every step, I'll reach the sky
Cigarette burns on the worn machines
Lonely hearts, love's lost scenes
Mom's old rosary, beads of rain
Whispering prayers in the laundromat's refrain
I count the footprints, dancing by
Neon shadows, reaching for the sky
Racing with the dawn's soft light
Every step, I'll ignite the night
Night's fragile beauty, fading fast
Quickening pulse, this journey's cast
Footsteps matching heartbeat's drum
I won't stop, I'll outrun
I count the footprints, coming near
Ghosts of love, and all my fears
Racing with the dawn's embracing rays
Every step, I'll chase the night away
One more spin, than fold and dry
Moments lost, heartbeats by
But each step I take, I live a little more
Than the shoes that scuff the floor
I count the footsteps, retreating
Rain's curtain falls, city's beat
Racing with the dawn's warm light
Every step, I've made it through the night
Raindrops cease, neon fades
Feels like dawn, feels like steps that made
A path to turn the night around
When hope arrives, without a sound
