Burning Skyline, 2 – Tide & Prism

Verse 1

Lantern in my pocket, neon on the wall

Copper wire in the ceiling, a thousand miles to fall

I saw you standing there with your eyes locked high

Before I knew what language we were speaking tonight

The concrete floor beneath us, it's a slow tide rise

Every step I take closer, every heartbeat turns inside

Your collarbone is trembling like it's about to shatter

And nothing else in the world matters but this one moment, later

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it climbing? Do you hear it break free?

Can we walk right through the thunder that is coming for us?

Every shadow on your face is a promise I already know

Chorus

Burning skyline in my eyes

We are standing here tonight

Copper wire and the dark of night

This is where our story starts now, feels like it's taking flight

Verse 2

Your shoulder against mine, it's not an accident at all

The fire in your chest is burning through the glass walls

I can see a thousand years of battle in your eyes

But right here and now we are both running out of time

You take my hand and pull me deeper into the flame

Every single thing outside this room has lost its name

Your fingers wrap around mine like it's the only way to be whole

And nothing left to do but follow, let this one night unfold

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it climbing? Do you hear it break free?

Can we walk right through the thunder that is coming for us?

Every shadow on your face is a promise I already know

Chorus

Burning skyline in my eyes

We are standing here tonight

Copper wire and the dark of night

This is where our story starts now, feels like it's taking flight

Bridge

No words left to say what we already see

Just two hearts locked inside a fire that was meant to be

One thousand miles of steel and stone come crashing down

And this one moment, it's enough to turn it all around

Chorus

Burning skyline in my eyes

We are standing here tonight

Copper wire and the dark of night

This is where our story starts now, feels like it's taking flight
