Midnight Skyline Shift (Version 2)

Verse

Paper ticket curling loose on the table top

Six months since I left everything I know off

Suitcase half packed by the doorframe light

Somebody said goodbye loud enough to wake me tonight

Sneakers laced, no belt to tie

City's breathing through the open sky

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that engine humming low?

Feet don't stop when they want to go

Something's calling down at my chest now

Tell it I'm ready for whatever the sun throws

Chorus

I'm shifting in the midnight skyline

Nothing left but this feeling alive

Burning bright like a match struck out of time

Hands up high, let me fly past this line

Verse

Corner store neon bleeding into gold

Stranger on the platform who said we're not alone tonight's cold

Fingers tracing windows that ain't my own yet

Every windowpane is a door I haven't reached yet

Sneakers still warm where the city streetlights meet

Nobody's chasing me, and I like this feeling of free

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that engine humming low?

Feet don't stop when they want to go

Something's calling down at my chest now

Tell it I'm ready for whatever the sun throws

Chorus

I'm shifting in the midnight skyline

Nothing left but this feeling alive

Burning bright like a match struck out of time

Hands up high, let me fly past this line

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow the doubt will come back down

Maybe someone's still waiting at the town that I left behind now

But right here the sky's gold and mine

I don't need it to stay — just this one climb

Chorus

I'm shifting in the midnight skyline

Nothing left but this feeling alive

Burning bright like a match struck out of time

Hands up high, let me fly past this line
