I'm caught in a lantern vertigo

Verse

Paper lanterns drifting off the rooftop ledge,

Your hand finds mine right at the city's edge,

Neon rivers running down the avenue,

One look up and I forget which way is true.

Pre-Chorus

Floor tilts sideways when you smile like that,

Is it the lights or is it just you, spinning me back?

Hold my waist before I hit the ground,

Something's pulling me, I can't turn it down.

Chorus

I'm caught in a lantern vertigo,

Falling up where the fireflies glow,

Head over heart, I let it go,

Spinning in a lantern vertigo.

Lantern vertigo, lantern vertigo,

Falling for you slow.

Verse

Rooftop speakers humming static gold,

You spin me twice, my heartbeat loses hold,

Sky lanterns rising, tangled in your hair,

I'm floating somewhere between here and there.

Pre-Chorus

Floor tilts sideways when you smile like that,

Is it the lights or is it just you, spinning me back?

Hold my waist before I hit the ground,

Something's pulling me, I can't turn it down.

Chorus

I'm caught in a lantern vertigo,

Falling up where the fireflies glow,

Head over heart, I let it go,

Spinning in a lantern vertigo.

Lantern vertigo, lantern vertigo,

Falling for you slow.

Bridge

Maybe I don't need the ground,

Maybe dizzy's just the sound

Of two hearts learning how to fly,

Lanterns scattered 'cross the sky.

Catch me if the moment breaks,

I'm not scared of how much this shakes.

Chorus

I'm caught in a lantern vertigo,

Falling up where the fireflies glow,

Head over heart, I let it go,

Spinning in a lantern vertigo.

Lantern vertigo, lantern vertigo,

Falling for you,

Falling for you slow.
