City Under Glass (версия 2)

Verse

Six a.m., the streetlights still hum like bees in amber jars

Curtains breathe with the morning, gray on gray, no sun yet.

Coffee paper cup and my shadow leaning against the door

Streetcar rattles its way to the station, nobody's in a hurry.

Every window down here holds a version of me, different one tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can I stay in all these rooms at once?

Can I keep every version of this song

Chorus

City under glass, city under glass

A thousand versions of me moving through the same slow past

I'm caught between the light and everything I know will pass

Verse

Corner store neon bleeds into beige

Taxi idles low, half asleep tonight

Stranger's reflection leaning on my shoulder.

Window to window, nobody's watching nobody really

Sirens thin out like they ran out of breath halfway down the block.

Traffic sighs through the tunnel where I used to walk

Pre-Chorus

Can I stay in all these rooms at once?

Can I keep every version of this song

Chorus

City under glass, city under glass

A thousand versions of me moving through the same slow past

I'm caught between the light and everything I know will pass

Bridge

Maybe it's not about staying.

Maybe it's just about letting all these rooms exist

Maybe I don't have to choose which one is true.

I can keep them both, still walk out into you

Chorus

City under glass, city under glass

A thousand versions of me moving through the same slow past

I'm caught between the light and everything I know will pass
