Skyline Never Waits (Version 2)

Verse 1

Concrete floor still wet from rain

Shadows cast like they're about to turn

Cash in my pocket feels so thin against the cold night air

Streetlight flickers half a mile away

Every step I take is one more block closer home

Palm of my hand on the railing tight

The whole city moving, I move alone

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building through your chest now?

Rising up like something breaking free at last

Chorus

I'm running from the sky to find my place in it

Skyline never waits and neither do I tonight

Every window's a promise, every streetlamp's got a name

I don't need to ask permission when the dark turns gold again

Verse 2

Taxi windows blur into one long ribbon of light

The city hums like it knows what I'm searching for tonight

Pockets shaking loose the last of my dough spent on the turn

Every decision feels like it's got a reason that won't relent

Corner store neon flickers, red then gone again

Nobody here's asking where you been or how much more to pay back

Just keep your head up, shoulders open wide

This is what the dark was built for — breaking every wall I made

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building through your chest now?

Rising up like something breaking free at last

Chorus

I'm running from the sky to find my place in it

Skyline never waits and neither do I tonight

Every window's a promise, every streetlamp's got a name

I don't need to ask permission when the dark turns gold again

Bridge

Maybe 'home' is just a direction not a house or door

Maybe freedom feels like nothing at all till you walk through it for sure

No more waiting for the sun — we'll take this whole block tonight

Every shadow's a step I own and every shadow I ignite

Chorus

I'm running from the sky to find my place in it

Skyline never waits and neither do I tonight

Every window's a promise, every streetlamp's got a name

I don't need to ask permission when the dark turns gold again
