Letting It Lift

Verse

Last taxi lights, the block gone gray

Doorman don't know my name today

Two days since the door hit closed

Bills on the counter, forgot what I owed

Room still smells like cigarette smoke

Someone else's jacket on the floor

Pre-Chorus

I can feel it climbing up through the soles of my shoes

Like the city's turning, finally breaking loose

Chorus

Letting it lift off from my skin tonight

Washing out all the gray in the light

Verse 2

Shower's running hot, steam like a veil

Phone died at midnight, don't need it to know what time is now

Something under this hum that I can't see coming around

Pre-Chorus

I can feel it climbing up through the soles of my shoes

Like the city's turning, finally breaking loose

Chorus

Letting it lift off from my skin tonight

Washing out all the gray in the light

Bridge

No one's calling back to check if I'm still breathing

The whole block is just a warm glow through the blinds now

Whatever it was that kept me tethered here this long

Just let go of it right before sunrise, and disappeared into something bigger than myself

Something bigger than myself

Chorus

Letting it lift off from my skin tonight

Washing out all the gray in the light
