Where the Skyline Forgets Us — Nordlicht Sequence

Verse

Four a.m. and the taxis thin out

Neon signs give up and fade to grey

Coats on shoulders, breath like static

Concrete cooling from the night we made

Pre-Chorus

So hold my hand through the empty street

Let the bassline fall from our feet

Is this the comedown or the start of something new

Chorus

Where the skyline forgets us

We're still burning, we're still bright

Steel and glass turn gold above us

Chasing down the edge of light

Where the skyline forgets us

That's the only place we're free

Sunrise breaking through the towers

Just for you and me

Verse

Rooftop water tank, a crown of static wire

Pigeons scatter off the ledge in threes

Your mascara's tracing rivers

But you're laughing with the wind against your knees

Pre-Chorus

So hold my hand through the empty street

Let the bassline fall from our feet

Is this the comedown or the start of something new

Chorus

Where the skyline forgets us

We're still burning, we're still bright

Steel and glass turn gold above us

Chasing down the edge of light

Where the skyline forgets us

That's the only place we're free

Sunrise breaking through the towers

Just for you and me

Bridge

Nobody's watching, the city's asleep

Windows are mirrors, the streets are ours to keep

Every light in every tower going dim

While the sun comes up and swallows them

Chorus

Where the skyline forgets us

We're still burning, we're still bright

Steel and glass turn gold above us

Chasing down the edge of light

Where the skyline forgets us

That's the only place we're free

Sunrise breaking through the towers

Just for you and me

Outro

Just for you and me

Skyline forgets us now

Just for you and me
