Somewhere Past the City Lights

Verse

Neon bleeding through the window glass

Your silhouette against the static flash

Smoke and mirrors on the dancefloor haze

Eighty miles an hour in a stranger's gaze

Radio static, a heartbeat drum

You said nothing but I heard you hum

Chrome reflections in your dark blue eyes

Pull me closer as the traffic dies

Pre-Chorus

Can we stay in this frame

Where the colors bend your name

Every pulse is asking why

We don't chase the edge of sky

Chorus

Somewhere past the city lights

We could burn this quiet night

Hands like static, skin like sound

Lost until the sun comes round

Somewhere past the city lights

I don't need the world tonight

Just this glow, just this sound

Somewhere past the city lights

Verse

Elevator hum and a purple stair

Your jacket draped across the chair

Ticket stub still folded in my palm

The whole block sleeping, but we're calm

Streetlight flicker like a slow heartbeat

Counting down the hours we don't need

Windows fogging on a borrowed car

This is closer than we've ever were

Pre-Chorus

Can we stay in this frame

Where the colors bend your name

Every pulse is asking why

We don't chase the edge of sky

Chorus

Somewhere past the city lights

We could burn this quiet night

Hands like static, skin like sound

Lost until the sun comes round

Somewhere past the city lights

I don't need the world tonight

Just this glow, just this sound

Somewhere past the city lights

Bridge

Maybe it's the way the rain falls slow

Maybe it's a face I used to know

But now it's just your breath, my name

Two shadows learning how to stay

Chorus

Somewhere past the city lights

We could burn this quiet night

Hands like static, skin like sound

Lost until the sun comes round

Somewhere past the city lights

I don't need the world tonight

Just this glow, just this sound

Somewhere past the city lights
