Rooftop Static, Slow Fade (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete still warm from the day before

Water tower humming, an old tin chord

Paper cup steam curls up and bends

Static hiss where the record ends

Pre-Chorus

City holds its breath below

Nobody's phone starts to glow

Can I stay right here a while

Let the gray turn soft and mild

Chorus

Rooftop static, slow fade

Sky the color of lemonade

Nothing moving, nothing said

Just the light waking up my head

Verse

Pigeons shift on the water line

Antenna wires drawn thin and fine

My sneakers damp from the dew that stayed

Watching shadows get erased

Pre-Chorus

City holds its breath below

Nobody's phone starts to glow

Can I stay right here a while

Let the gray turn soft and mild

Chorus

Rooftop static, slow fade

Sky the color of lemonade

Nothing moving, nothing said

Just the light waking up my head

Bridge

Six a.m. and I don't need a reason

Just this hush before the season turns

Coffee's cold but I'm not leaving

Let the whole block keep on sleeping

Chorus

Rooftop static, slow fade

Sky the color of lemonade

Nothing moving, nothing said

Just the light waking up my head
