Closer Than the City lyrics
Intro
Rooftop hums
Skyline blinks below
Verse
Grid of light spread out like water
Traffic sound gone soft and slower
Your palm finds the small of my back
Closer than the streets ever map
Pre-Chorus
City folds into a single line
Every window turns to you tonight
Chorus
You're closer than the city
Closer than the glow
Closer than the city
Nowhere else to go
Verse
Towers blur to gold and smoke
Your breath is the only thing I hold
Ten million lights can't reach this high
This rooftop's smaller than the sky
Pre-Chorus
City folds into a single line
Every window turns to you tonight
Chorus
You're closer than the city
Closer than the glow
Closer than the city
Nowhere else to go
Bridge
Skyline fades to a hush
Just your hand, just your hush
Skyline fades to a hush
Nothing left but us
Outro
Closer than the city
Closer than the glow
Closer than the city
This is all I know
