Paint the Sky Back On

Verse

The streetlights flicker like a dying reel

Gray clouds peel back to show the evening's seal

I kick my shoes off on the fire escape

Static radio, a wire-thin escape

Pre-Chorus

And if the whole world's gray tonight

Can I just steal a little light

Can we forget what's wrong or right

Chorus

We're gonna paint the sky back on

Streak it gold till the gray is gone

Spin till the stars can't hold us down

Dancing free on the borrowed ground

We're gonna paint the sky back on

Every ache turned into a song

Barefoot, breathless, we don't come down

We paint the sky back on tonight

Verse

Chalk dust rooftops, city holding still

A thousand windows lit like broken pills

You grab my hand like we invented flight

Two shadows breaking curfew, painted white

Pre-Chorus

And if the whole world's gray tonight

Can I just steal a little light

Can we forget what's wrong or right

Chorus

We're gonna paint the sky back on

Streak it gold till the gray is gone

Spin till the stars can't hold us down

Dancing free on the borrowed ground

We're gonna paint the sky back on

Every ache turned into a song

Barefoot, breathless, we don't come down

We paint the sky back on tonight

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow the clouds roll back in

Maybe this feeling won't happen again

But right now the rooftop's an ocean of light

And we're the horizon, catching the tide

Chorus

We're gonna paint the sky back on

Streak it gold till the gray is gone

Spin till the stars can't hold us down

Dancing free on the borrowed ground

We're gonna paint the sky back on

Every ache turned into a song

Barefoot, breathless, we don't come down

We paint the sky back on tonight
