Copper Horizon 3

Verse

Skyline turning amber at the seam

Windows catch it, hold the gold in their steam

Pigeons roosting on a fire escape ledge

Streetlights flicker on as they turn and read

Every corner where my footsteps used to be

Now the shadows stretch long and slow out free

Pre-Chorus

I let my shoulders drop from all I kept

The city's humming, soft instead of steep

Something in my chest is learning how to breathe

Maybe this is what the daylight feels like underneath

Chorus

Copper horizon, low and wide

Every window holding half alive

I can see a mile that used to be dark

Now it's gold because I'm letting go of who I are tonight

Copper horizon, slow and warm

Something in my chest finally learning how to form

Verse 2

Piano drifts from someone's apartment door

Note drops soft like rain through the floor

Fire truck lights a block away turn amber too

This whole city's moving slower because of you

I used to count the hours, wait for the clock to climb

Now I watch the light move and let it be mine

Pre-Chorus

I let my shoulders drop from all I kept

The city's humming, soft instead of steep

Something in my chest is learning how to breathe

Maybe this is what the daylight feels like underneath

Chorus

Copper horizon, low and wide

Every window holding half alive

I can see a mile that used to be dark

Now it's gold because I'm letting go of who I are tonight

Copper horizon, slow and warm

Something in my chest finally learning how to form

Bridge

Maybe the sky holds every version of me

Maybe they're all still breathing underneath the sea

I won't reach for the old one, I'll stay right here

Letting gold become what I'm standing on, clear

Chorus

Copper horizon, low and wide

Every window holding half alive

I can see a mile that used to be dark

Now it's gold because I'm letting go of who I are tonight

Copper horizon, slow and warm

Something in my chest finally learning how to form
