Verse
Gold in the high-rises where sunbeams land on glass
Every window counts a thousand tiny hands
You said goodbye before we ever got our name
I never knew I'd be writing this all out of frame
Pre-Chorus
Is it strange to hold onto something that's been torn down?
Do you still move through those city streets where love was found?
Tell me can a ghost leave a light on in the dark or is it just the past
Still trying to tell its story but nobody asked
Chorus
Velvet skyline, velvet skyline
You're gone but I still see your name
Every window counts a thousand tiny hands
Trying to hold onto what we couldn't keep
I'll watch the sunset paint the concrete walls
And maybe someday love will call us back again
But until then it's just you and me
Against this city sky, where we used to be
Verse 2
Coffee shops that never close but now the lights are low
Your favorite cafe still serves the same old glow
I sit at our booth feeling like I'm sitting alone
The same four walls that held us together till we let go
Pre-Chorus
Is it strange to hold onto something that's been torn down?
Do you still move through those city streets where love was found?
Tell me can a ghost leave a light on in the dark or is it just the past
Still trying to tell its story but nobody asked
Chorus
Velvet skyline, velvet skyline
You're gone but I still see your name
Every window counts a thousand tiny hands
Trying to hold onto what we couldn't keep
I'll watch the sunset paint the concrete walls
And maybe someday love will call us back again
But until then it's just you and me
Against this city sky, where we used to be
Bridge
Maybe every goodbye is not an ending at all but a door
A doorway leading somewhere I don't know yet, where are you now?
I'm still standing in the same old shoes on the same four streets
But it's like my feet have moved into somebody else's beat
Chorus
Velvet skyline, velvet skyline
You're gone but I still see your name
Every window counts a thousand tiny hands
Trying to hold onto what we couldn't keep
I'll watch the sunset paint the concrete walls
And maybe someday love will call us back again
But until then it's just you and me
Against this city sky, where we used to be
Outro
Velvet skyline...
Still I see your name
