Skyline and Grey

Verse

Last light fading off the water tower roof

Steam rises slow off a forgotten cup

The city's breathing like it knows we're here

Rain slicked streets and amber streetlights hum

I don't feel like leaving the quiet again

Pre-Chorus

So I let the night keep falling

Let the low grey hold me full

Every shadow, every shadow turning

Into something soft and slow

Chorus

This is the hour, soft and slow

The skyline turning into gold

Nothing to rush for now, nothing left behind

Just the light breaking on my skin tonight

Verse 2

A window above a hardware store

Has a single lamp lit low

Sleet hitting the glass like it's trying to tell me something

A message nobody knows

I watch the rain turn into silver and grey

The skyline shifting, the dark giving way

For one hour I don't have to pretend I'm brave

Pre-Chorus

So I let the night keep falling

Let the low grey hold me full

Every shadow, every shadow turning

Into something soft and slow

Chorus

This is the hour, soft and slow

The skyline turning into gold

Nothing to rush for now, nothing left behind

Just the light breaking on my skin tonight

Bridge

Maybe I was built for this kind of quiet

For watching shadows instead of chasing the sun

Let the rain fall all around me

I'm not running anymore when it's done

Chorus

This is the hour, soft and slow

The skyline turning into gold

Nothing to rush for now, nothing left behind

Just the light breaking on my skin tonight
