Before the City Wakes (Version 2) lyrics

Verse

Streetlights blur to amber streams

Four a.m. inside the seams

Bassline walking through my chest

Empty road, no need to rest

Concrete steam rise off the ground

Every step's a low-end sound

Hands up high, I feel it pull

Empty streets but I'm so full

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing slow

Skin awake with nowhere to go

Hold the breath before it breaks

Right before the city wakes

Chorus

Before the city wakes, I let go

Before the city wakes, I let go

Floating on the low end, feel the glow

Before the city wakes, I let go

Verse

Neon washing on my skin

Door slides shut, the night lets me in

Speakers breathing, slow and deep

Nobody's watching, no one's asleep

Shadows moving with the beat

Cold air kissing on my feet

Losing track of up and down

Floating free above the ground

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing slow

Skin awake with nowhere to go

Hold the breath before it breaks

Right before the city wakes

Chorus

Before the city wakes, I let go

Before the city wakes, I let go

Floating on the low end, feel the glow

Before the city wakes, I let go

Bridge

No name, no clock, no weight to hold

Just heat and hum and dark and gold

The world outside can wait for light

I'm living inside tonight

Chorus

Before the city wakes, I let go

Before the city wakes, I let go

Floating on the low end, feel the glow

Before the city wakes, I let go

Outro

Before the city wakes

I let go

I let go

I let go
