Every Window in the City (versie 2)

Verse 1

Concrete under the streetlight's glow

Every window in the city is a story we don't know

We watch them laugh and watch them cry

We watch the smoke rise up into the sky

Nobody knows what's happening on the other side of glass

So I hold your hand till dawn begins to pass

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it pulling us outside?

Something soft that we can't define

Is it gold or is it goodbye?

Tell me if you see it in my eyes

Chorus

Every window in the city

We're two hearts beating on the other side of light

Every shadow that you chase away

Leads us straight into dawn's gray

Verse 2

A thousand people living out their dreams

Behind a pane of glass and smoke and steam

Your eyes are locked on mine like there's no wall between

And I believe it for this one, shining second seen

So we leave the fire burning low

Watch the sirens crawling up the block below

We don't need answers when the dawn is breaking through

Cause in your eyes right now I see something true

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it pulling us outside?

Something soft that we can't define

Is it gold or is it goodbye?

Tell me if you see it in my eyes

Chorus

Every window in the city

We're two hearts beating on the other side of light

Every shadow that you chase away

Leads us straight into dawn's gray

Bridge

Maybe we don't need to see what's out there

Just your face, just these two hands holding air

If love is something that can't be kept

Then I'll hold this feeling 'til the streetlight's spent

Chorus

Every window in the city

We're two hearts beating on the other side of light

Every shadow that you chase away

Leads us straight into dawn's gray

Outro

Every window in the city

Still we see what we want to see

I'll keep my eyes locked where they've been all along

On you, shining through the glass like gold
