Skyline Says Hello

Verse

Grey water bottle on the ledge below

Elevator's humming what I'm meant to know

Farewell card folded in a pocket deep

Someone's drawing circles where I sleep

The streetlight flickers like it's waving slow

Taxi horn bleeds into the glow

I took the photo of this city's face

Not to miss it, but to know its place

Pre-Chorus

So what do you do when the goodbye light is gold

Do you close your eyes or watch it fold

Something small keeps rising up inside

Maybe endings just let the skyline glide

Chorus

I'm walking out into the golden glow

Every shadow turning soft as snow

Skyline says hello like it knows my name

Goodbye lights are brighter than a flame

I'm not leaving, I'm just changing pace

Watch this ordinary turn to gold and space

Verse 2

New coffee shop where strangers know your name

Same skyline but the angle's different now

Postcard in my pocket with a handwritten vow

Not that I'll return but that I'll learn somehow

I left a piece of myself on every floor

Still it lifts me like it wants more

Maybe endings only get you ready for what's next

Maybe I was built to carry this kind of yes

Pre-Chorus

So what do you do when the goodbye light is gold

Do you close your eyes or watch it fold

Something small keeps rising up inside

Maybe endings just let the skyline glide

Chorus

I'm walking out into the golden glow

Every shadow turning soft as snow

Skyline says hello like it knows my name

Goodbye lights are brighter than a flame

I'm not leaving, I'm just changing pace

Watch this ordinary turn to gold and space

Bridge

Maybe it's the letting go that makes us brave

Maybe growing up is learning how to wave

I'm carrying out the ache like it's a lantern in my chest

Burning slow so nothing gets possessed

Chorus

I'm walking out into the golden glow

Every shadow turning soft as snow

Skyline says hello like it knows my name

Goodbye lights are brighter than a flame

I'm not leaving, I'm just changing pace

Watch this ordinary turn to gold and space
