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
