City breathes when we're not here (Version 2) lyrics
Intro
Mm... rain
Dusk on the windowpane
Verse
Steam curls up from a half-full cup
Bassline fading into hum
Rooftop water running soft and slow
Sky turning one more shade of grey
Chorus
City breathes when we're not here
Streetlights catch what daylight left
Pigeons drift where our shadows were
Nothing's loud, nothing's left
Verse
Empty subway car, seats still warm
Neon sign blinking half asleep
Someone's footsteps, distant and slow
Windows catching the blue it keeps
Chorus
City breathes when we're not here
Streetlights catch what daylight left
Pigeons drift where our shadows were
Nothing's loud, nothing's left
Bridge
Mm... rain
Water on the windowpane
The city waits for morning
We don't need to be here again
Chorus
City breathes when we're not here
Streetlights catch what daylight left
Pigeons drift where our shadows were
Nothing's loud, nothing's left
