Skyline Gold Rush (versie 2)

Verse

Clock strikes the hour on a rooftop so tall

Gold light drips down the windows of it all

Steam off my coffee as I watch the whole town turn amber and grey

Every window a heartbeat that says don't fade away

The taxi honk below us, the street lights begin to bleed

Somebody's laughing loud three floors down on the fourth-floor ledge

Pre-Chorus

So tell me can we stay right here till the clock hits nine?

Can we outrun the dark and keep this light of mine?

Chorus

We're chasing skyline gold rush, watch it rise with us tonight

Every shadow turns into daylight, turning off the blue lights

Gold on my face, gold in your eyes, nobody says goodbye tonight

Verse

Streetlights catch fire then die before we can see them burn

Sirens fade to a low hum somewhere beyond this porch swing, learn

The world below still sleeps, but up here the stars just landed bright

Every window's another heartbeat saying it's almost light

Your hand finds my waist, slow and easy, like we own this whole block

Bass from the rooftop party leaks into my ribcage lock

Pre-Chorus

So tell me can we stay right here till the clock hits nine?

Can we outrun the dark and keep this light of mine?

Chorus

We're chasing skyline gold rush, watch it rise with us tonight

Every shadow turns into daylight, turning off the blue lights

Gold on my face, gold in your eyes, nobody says goodbye tonight

Bridge

Maybe endings just mean we move to a different tower high

Maybe scars are just streetlights learning how to shine

So let's not break down slow over this doorway we built as one

Let's burn it clean like the whole sky turned into sunlight at once

Chorus

We're chasing skyline gold rush, watch it rise with us tonight

Every shadow turns into daylight, turning off the blue lights

Gold on my face, gold in your eyes, nobody says goodbye tonight
