Skyline at My Door (Version 2)

Verse

Coffee cup still ringing from the microwave

Keys on the counter like they're not mine to keep

Took off my coat but forgot where I was headed

Six a.m. light is painting every window red

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding me back now

Can you feel that pull in your chest

Is it morning or just waking up

Something about this feels like more than just a song

Chorus

I'm letting go at the door, watching the whole block turn gold

Feet still moving even though my clock says I'm too old

Skyline's calling me closer, louder every time I close my eyes

This is the hour before the city wakes and steals it back tonight

Verse

Dropped my phone in a planter again

Some days I forget how to reach for a door

But then the birds start singing like they're rehearsing

Every sunrise since I was twelve years old

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding me back now

Can you feel that pull in your chest

Is it morning or just waking up

Something about this feels like more than just a song

Chorus

I'm letting go at the door, watching the whole block turn gold

Feet still moving even though my clock says I'm too old

Skyline's calling me closer, louder every time I close my eyes

This is the hour before the city wakes and steals it back tonight

Bridge

Maybe this isn't about the light at all

Maybe it's just finally learning how to fall

Into a rhythm that feels mine alone

Every window turning silver, turning gold

I used to chase it in cars on Friday night

Now I find it standing right here where I'm living

This is my own song, not someone else's fire

Just the hum of morning and my own heart's desire

Chorus

I'm letting go at the door, watching the whole block turn gold

Feet still moving even though my clock says I'm too old

Skyline's calling me closer, louder every time I close my eyes

This is the hour before the city wakes and steals it back tonight
