Skyline is a promise we keep

Verse

Sneakers scuff the curb, taxi line's long

Somebody's laughing where the neon song

Pockets light from cigarettes and coins

We don't need a reason, just the noise

Windows down so the bass can climb through

Street signs blur like they're waving through

Nobody's checking who came with whom tonight

City's got a rhythm that we follow blind

Pre-Chorus

So what if tomorrow isn't promised at all

What's one more hour when the whole sky's on fire anyway

Hands up catching falling silver and gold

Tonight the world forgets how to say goodbye

Chorus

Skyline is a promise we keep

Lights don't lie, they just won't sleep

We were made for this kind of air

Every green light says yes, we're here

Verse

Barefoot on the hood of a car that hums

Someone's shouting out a lyric or a tune

The sirens fade to something sweeter still

Every stranger's a friend before we know their name at all

Fire escapes glow like a ladder up high

We could jump and catch it, watch the city fly

Nothing broken here that can't be fixed tonight

Nobody's tired of dancing in the white light

Pre-Chorus

So what if tomorrow isn't promised at all

What's one more hour when the whole sky's on fire anyway

Hands up catching falling silver and gold

Tonight the world forgets how to say goodbye

Chorus

Skyline is a promise we keep

Lights don't lie, they just won't sleep

We were made for this kind of air

Every green light says yes, we're here

Bridge

I used to wait for someone else to drive

Now the engine's my own heartbeat tonight

No map, no name, no clock, no reason why

Just the towers calling us closer, skyward, higher

Higher

Chorus

Skyline is a promise we keep

Lights don't lie, they just won't sleep

We were made for this kind of air

Every green light says yes, we're here
