Copper Skyline 3

Verse

Concrete cooling in the alleyway

Steam curling off a half-empty can

Bass notes trembling through my feet

The whole night holding its breath

Neon hums where the sun used to be

Shadow dancing on the wall

Every window I walk past tells

A story nobody's going to call

Pre-Chorus

So I keep drifting

Letting the rhythm pull me wide

Through every block, through every door

I'm already gone, I've been inside

Chorus

Copper skyline calling me home

Amber river that never stops moving

Every name on this street is someone

Floating over amber rivers, nobody's leaving

Verse

Faded paint where a mural used to be

The outline still remembers my face

Coffee shop door swinging open slow

Steam rising in a familiar place

Taxi cab crawling through the intersection

Horn honking soft like it's asking me

What if I never go back home

But this is home, it's just not mine yet

Pre-Chorus

So I keep drifting

Letting the rhythm pull me wide

Through every block, through every door

I'm already gone, I've been inside

Chorus

Copper skyline calling me home

Amber river that never stops moving

Every name on this street is someone

Floating over amber rivers, nobody's leaving

Bridge

Maybe I don't have to leave at all

Just let the city turn my shadow

Into someone who's been here all along

Maybe drifting is just a different way of staying

Chorus

Copper skyline calling me home

Amber river that never stops moving

Every name on this street is someone

Floating over amber rivers, nobody's leaving
