Clear to Green (version 2)

Verse 1

Fifteen summers gone by the city still hums through my chest

Pigeons on the fire escape where we used to sit and rest

Tinted windows shining down with a light that cuts like a knife

Every corner I walk through, every face I think I might

Recognize is just another shadow cast in this neon haze

I learned how to read between the lines so I know exactly what they say

Pre-Chorus

Is it fear or is it hope and are we on the same page?

One thing for sure, I'm never gonna fade

Chorus

Clear to green, it's clear to green, watch us rise from the grey

Clear to green, it's clear to green, every single step, every single day

I've got a name but you don't know it yet and that is just fine

Keep your hands up high because we're gonna break through this neon line

Verse 2

Saw you moving through the crowd with a swagger I've never seen

Ripped fishnets, band tee tight, black eyeliner on your knee

I watched you take the whole room hostage like it was a one-woman show

Then your eyes caught mine and we both froze in time like the needle skipped right over the groove

Now we're standing face to face but I'm still reading signs

Pre-Chorus

Is it fear or is it hope and are we on the same page?

One thing for sure, I'm never gonna fade

Chorus

Clear to green, it's clear to green, watch us rise from the grey

Clear to green, it's clear to green, every single step, every single day

I've got a name but you don't know it yet and that is just fine

Keep your hands up high because we're gonna break through this neon line

Bridge

Maybe I was waiting for some cosmic sign to read our fate

But maybe it's just the hum of the city singing in my heart

Chorus

Clear to green, it's clear to green, watch us rise from the grey

Clear to green, it's clear to green, every single step, every single day

I've got a name but you don't know it yet and that is just fine

Keep your hands up high because we're gonna break through this neon line
