Streetlights Rise (Version 2)

Verse

Warehouse doors unlock at three a.m.

Smoke curls up where the rafters meet

Streetlights catch the corner of my jacket now

Windows down like we're breaking through

Sirens fade to static and silence

Someone's laughing by the open fire escape

Every window pane is a mirror now

Repeating every promise I've made

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how close can a city be

To holding us before it lets go completely

I feel something on the edge of this light

It's not sunrise, but we're almost right

Chorus

Streetlights rise like a second sun

Every building turns into one heart that's won

Nothing here is broken yet

This is the moment when the whole night gets set free

Verse 2

Paper cups and cigarette smoke ring

Someone's phone still lit from the last beat we sang

The fire escape's a balcony of dreams

Every window's a doorframe, every streetlamp seams

Taxi horns become a slow parade

Somewhere past the traffic circle, something's awake

We're standing on the edge of a mile long bridge

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to hide

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how close can a city be

To holding us before it lets go completely

I feel something on the edge of this light

It's not sunrise, but we're almost right

Chorus

Streetlights rise like a second sun

Every building turns into one heart that's won

Nothing here is broken yet

This is the moment when the whole night gets set free

Bridge

The rooftops start to glow like amber

Everything we came for finally grows

No more shadows left between us now

Just the pulse and the promise, nothing less than this somehow

Chorus

Streetlights rise like a second sun

Every building turns into one heart that's won

Nothing here is broken yet

This is the moment when the whole night gets set free
