Riding out the colour (Version 2)

Verse

Dust still rising from the old taxi rank

Gold on the water where the river bank bends

Some of us came chasing what was missing

Others came running from what won't end

I left a city made of broken glass

I brought a rhythm I could hardly say aloud

Every heartbeat knocking loud inside me

I don't know where the ending stops and this begins

Pre-Chorus

What if it's not about finding something whole

But standing in the middle of this gold and noise?

What if home was never one place only

What if home is how the night still glows?

Chorus

We're riding out the colour, arms wide open

Every scar we carry turning into glow

Riding out the colour till our shadows disappear

Riding out the colour — I am free tonight

Verse

Streetlights are blinking like they're saying yes now

Someone's laughing like they just let go

The sky is bruised but it still remembers blue

I'm a map of every mile I've been and gone

Every voice in this circle singing different songs

And yet we move as one beneath the stars

Nobody here was built to hold it all together

But tonight we're flying — we don't need that much of you

Pre-Chorus

What if it's not about finding something whole

But standing in the middle of this gold and noise?

What if home was never one place only

What if home is how the night still glows?

Chorus

We're riding out the colour, arms wide open

Every scar we carry turning into glow

Riding out the colour till our shadows disappear

Riding out the colour — I am free tonight

Bridge

Maybe freedom wasn't always a door I'd find

Maybe it's just this breath — this wild and loud mind

I'm not running from what was, I'm dancing through it

Every ache becomes a drum my heartbeat knew

Chorus

We're riding out the colour, arms wide open

Every scar we carry turning into glow

Riding out the colour till our shadows disappear

Riding out the colour — I am free tonight
