City breathes when we're not here

Intro

Mm... rain

Dusk on the windowpane

Verse

Steam curls up from a half-full cup

Bassline fading into hum

Rooftop water running soft and slow

Sky turning one more shade of grey

Chorus

City breathes when we're not here

Streetlights catch what daylight left

Pigeons drift where our shadows were

Nothing's loud, nothing's left

Verse

Empty subway car, seats still warm

Neon sign blinking half asleep

Someone's footsteps, distant and slow

Windows catching the blue it keeps

Chorus

City breathes when we're not here

Streetlights catch what daylight left

Pigeons drift where our shadows were

Nothing's loud, nothing's left

Bridge

Mm... rain

Water on the windowpane

The city waits for morning

We don't need to be here again

Chorus

City breathes when we're not here

Streetlights catch what daylight left

Pigeons drift where our shadows were

Nothing's loud, nothing's left
