The Softest Edge 3 (wersja 2)

Verse

Four a.m. and the streets go still

Rust on the streetlamp pole

City breathes one long sigh

Every window turned dark grey

The neon hums a low drone

I walk through alleys empty as bone

No feet moving, no sound to claim

This is where my body lets go of its name

Pre-Chorus

And I find the softest edge

Of what's left after day turns into grey

Hold onto this quiet, hold on tight

Let it keep me here until morning light

Chorus

The softest edge

I find the softest edge

Every shadow pulls a little deeper still

And my chest lets go of its weight at last

This is where I learn to be still

The softest edge

Where the city finally stops talking, it's true

And all that's left for me and you is this one blue

Verse

A dumpster rattles with an empty can

Barely audible under a streetlamp's beam

My breath comes slow across the alley wall

I think of every person who's been here before me

Every heartbeat in this quiet space

Every soul that made it to this same time and place

And I know I'm not alone at all

Pre-Chorus

And I find the softest edge

Of what's left after day turns into grey

Hold onto this quiet, hold on tight

Let it keep me here until morning light

Chorus

The softest edge

I find the softest edge

Every shadow pulls a little deeper still

And my chest lets go of its weight at last

This is where I learn to be still

The softest edge

Where the city finally stops talking, it's true

And all that's left for me and you is this one blue

Bridge

Maybe this is what love should feel like

A quiet pulse under a streetlamp bright

Maybe this is how we heal at night

Not with answers but with just the light

Chorus

The softest edge

I find the softest edge

Every shadow pulls a little deeper still

And my chest lets go of its weight at last

This is where I learn to be still

The softest edge

Where the city finally stops talking, it's true

And all that's left for me and you is this one blue

Outro

Find the softest edge

Let it hold you till morning

You're not alone here

Just wait until daylight
