Lantern vertigo, spinning in the glow

Verse

Paper lanterns on a string above the alley light

Floating up like wishes when you catch my eye tonight

Sneakers on the railing, we're not scared of how far down

Your hand finds mine so easy like we've never touched the ground

Neon painting circles on your cheekbones soft and slow

Every step you take toward me makes the whole world go

Pre-Chorus

Is it the height or is it you

Making my knees forget what they knew

Tell me it's real before I fall

Chorus

Lantern vertigo, spinning in the glow

Every time you're near I lose control

Up so high I can't tell if it's the sky or you

Lantern vertigo, dizzy on the low

Catch me if I fall, don't let me go

Head over heels in the neon and the view

Verse

Rooftop water tower, city humming down below

String lights swaying gentle every time the wind will blow

You whisper something quiet and the skyline starts to tilt

Sugar on your laughter and the vertigo I'm built on

Fingers laced together on the ledge where no one sees

Every heartbeat echoes like a drumline in the breeze

Pre-Chorus

Is it the height or is it you

Making my knees forget what they knew

Tell me it's real before I fall

Chorus

Lantern vertigo, spinning in the glow

Every time you're near I lose control

Up so high I can't tell if it's the sky or you

Lantern vertigo, dizzy on the low

Catch me if I fall, don't let me go

Head over heels in the neon and the view

Bridge

Maybe I don't need the ground

Maybe falling's just a sound

Your arms around me, safe and slow

This is the only place I know

Let the lanterns burn out gold

I'm already in your hold

Chorus

Lantern vertigo, spinning in the glow

Every time you're near I lose control

Up so high I can't tell if it's the sky or you

Lantern vertigo, dizzy on the low

Catch me if I fall, don't let me go

Head over heels in the neon and the view
