Velvet Skyline 2 (version 2)

Verse

Gold in the high-rises where sunbeams land on glass

Every window counts a thousand tiny hands

You said goodbye before we ever got our name

I never knew I'd be writing this all out of frame

Pre-Chorus

Is it strange to hold onto something that's been torn down?

Do you still move through those city streets where love was found?

Tell me can a ghost leave a light on in the dark or is it just the past

Still trying to tell its story but nobody asked

Chorus

Velvet skyline, velvet skyline

You're gone but I still see your name

Every window counts a thousand tiny hands

Trying to hold onto what we couldn't keep

I'll watch the sunset paint the concrete walls

And maybe someday love will call us back again

But until then it's just you and me

Against this city sky, where we used to be

Verse 2

Coffee shops that never close but now the lights are low

Your favorite cafe still serves the same old glow

I sit at our booth feeling like I'm sitting alone

The same four walls that held us together till we let go

Pre-Chorus

Is it strange to hold onto something that's been torn down?

Do you still move through those city streets where love was found?

Tell me can a ghost leave a light on in the dark or is it just the past

Still trying to tell its story but nobody asked

Chorus

Velvet skyline, velvet skyline

You're gone but I still see your name

Every window counts a thousand tiny hands

Trying to hold onto what we couldn't keep

I'll watch the sunset paint the concrete walls

And maybe someday love will call us back again

But until then it's just you and me

Against this city sky, where we used to be

Bridge

Maybe every goodbye is not an ending at all but a door

A doorway leading somewhere I don't know yet, where are you now?

I'm still standing in the same old shoes on the same four streets

But it's like my feet have moved into somebody else's beat

Chorus

Velvet skyline, velvet skyline

You're gone but I still see your name

Every window counts a thousand tiny hands

Trying to hold onto what we couldn't keep

I'll watch the sunset paint the concrete walls

And maybe someday love will call us back again

But until then it's just you and me

Against this city sky, where we used to be

Outro

Velvet skyline...

Still I see your name
