Verse
Paper lanterns on a string above the alley light
Floating up like wishes when you catch my eye tonight
Sneakers on the railing, we're not scared of how far down
Your hand finds mine so easy like we've never touched the ground
Neon painting circles on your cheekbones soft and slow
Every step you take toward me makes the whole world go
Pre-Chorus
Is it the height or is it you
Making my knees forget what they knew
Tell me it's real before I fall
Chorus
Lantern vertigo, spinning in the glow
Every time you're near I lose control
Up so high I can't tell if it's the sky or you
Lantern vertigo, dizzy on the low
Catch me if I fall, don't let me go
Head over heels in the neon and the view
Verse
Rooftop water tower, city humming down below
String lights swaying gentle every time the wind will blow
You whisper something quiet and the skyline starts to tilt
Sugar on your laughter and the vertigo I'm built on
Fingers laced together on the ledge where no one sees
Every heartbeat echoes like a drumline in the breeze
Pre-Chorus
Is it the height or is it you
Making my knees forget what they knew
Tell me it's real before I fall
Chorus
Lantern vertigo, spinning in the glow
Every time you're near I lose control
Up so high I can't tell if it's the sky or you
Lantern vertigo, dizzy on the low
Catch me if I fall, don't let me go
Head over heels in the neon and the view
Bridge
Maybe I don't need the ground
Maybe falling's just a sound
Your arms around me, safe and slow
This is the only place I know
Let the lanterns burn out gold
I'm already in your hold
Chorus
Lantern vertigo, spinning in the glow
Every time you're near I lose control
Up so high I can't tell if it's the sky or you
Lantern vertigo, dizzy on the low
Catch me if I fall, don't let me go
Head over heels in the neon and the view
