Hold up the Horizon (versión 2)

Verse

Streetlight flickers like a yellow blade

Your smile cuts through the noise, the same every day

Two corners from your block to mine

Nothing much but your eyes shine bright and fine

You buy a lottery ticket from the bodega shelf

I watch you laugh while counting fifty cents to self

The city's humming low in my chest like a drum

Every beat I think 'this could be it' before I'm done

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this whole street feel like our own private stage

Is it something in the air or just your smile turning orange?

Hold up the horizon and let's turn night into gold

I know every corner story, but yours is one I want to hold

Chorus

You're the reason city lights don't burn too bright for me

Every block we walk feel like a whole new destiny

Hold up the horizon, let our shadows fall behind

If you keep on shining, nothing left for time to unwind

I chase your shadow through the darkening streetlights red

This could be it – one single moment turns us both ahead

One heartbeat and I know this won't just pass like the rain

You're the reason every window glow a little more than vain

Verse

Your scarf is waving like a pennant on a wire

I keep forgetting how to breathe without your eyes on fire

I used to think of nothing but my own small dreams

Now every step I take feels like we both win, it seems

You call the pizza guy and order two large pies for the night

Tell him deliver to the corner where our two worlds collide tonight

He says 'you coming back?' You just smile so wide

I know that answer before you even turn around and glide

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this whole street feel like our own private stage

Is it something in the air or just your smile turning orange?

Hold up the horizon and let's turn night into gold

I know every corner story, but yours is one I want to hold

Chorus

You're the reason city lights don't burn too bright for me

Every block we walk feel like a whole new destiny

Hold up the horizon, let our shadows fall behind

If you keep on shining, nothing left for time to unwind

I chase your shadow through the darkening streetlights red

This could be it – one single moment turns us both ahead

One heartbeat and I know this won't just pass like the rain

You're the reason every window glow a little more than vain

Bridge

Not about winning or losing, only how bright we shine

So don't ask me to wait for dawn because you light up every line

I know what sunrise looks like from down here on the ground

Hold this feeling, hold your hand and let the dark spin around

Nothing ever felt so real, nothing ever felt this alive

If you keep on holding up that horizon, I'll ride it right behind

Chorus

You're the reason city lights don't burn too bright for me

Every block we walk feel like a whole new destiny

Hold up the horizon, let our shadows fall behind

If you keep on shining, nothing left for time to unwind

I chase your shadow through the darkening streetlights red

This could be it – one single moment turns us both ahead
