Skin on Asphalt (version 2)

Intro

Feet on the heat

Skin on asphalt

Verse

City breathes through my soles again

Sweat gone silver in the morning's gleam

Concrete still warm from the night before

Every step counts us back to more

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rise up through the heel of my shoe

Something in the street is calling me too

Hold on tight, we're not done yet

Sunlight waiting on the roof of the set

Chorus

Skin on asphalt, moving slow

Feet don't stop till the daylight shows

Street lights fade to orange and blue

We run it down till morning's through

Verse 2

Sirens turn to birds overhead

Tires hum a different kind of dread

Heat off the curb beneath my heel

Same four walls, new way I feel

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rise up through the heel of my shoe

Something in the street is calling me too

Hold on tight, we're not done yet

Sunlight waiting on the roof of the set

Chorus

Skin on asphalt, moving slow

Feet don't stop till the daylight shows

Street lights fade to orange and blue

We run it down till morning's through

Bridge

No more room for shadows here

Nothing left but gold in my hair

Every streetlight loses its name

Still I keep the rhythm of rain

Pulse keeps time with every seam

Feet know this city before my dream

Floor still humming under the heat

Same four beats we used to repeat

Outro

Skin on asphalt

Morning's through

Skin on asphalt

We made it home
