Skyline at Midnight (Version 2)

Intro

Six o'clock and the lights come up slow

Verse 1 – male vocal

Sirens fade to nothing, taxi cabs go still

Your hand on my waist where the city meets the hill

You said you're running but you lingered at the door

I'm already watching shadows stretch across the floor

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why you came in through the back of the room

Why you keep your coat zipped when the air is warm enough

Every window got a view, every corner's gold

But I don't need to see the sky to know you're not leaving yet

Chorus – male vocal

Skyline at midnight, skyline at midnight

Your shoulder catches amber before it hits my eyes

Say what you came for while the whole city holds its breath

Cause skyline at midnight is always the truth

Verse 2

Your shoes are killing you but you don't wanna rest

You keep your jacket on like a promise nobody else can guess

Streetlight bleeding purple through the glass and chrome

Every stranger's silhouette becomes our own

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why you came in through the back of the room

Why you keep your coat zipped when the air is warm enough

Every window got a view, every corner's gold

But I don't need to see the sky to know you're not leaving yet

Chorus – male vocal

Skyline at midnight, skyline at midnight

Your shoulder catches amber before it hits my eyes

Say what you came for while the whole city holds its breath

Cause skyline at midnight is always the truth

Bridge – male vocal

No clocks on the wall but time still moves slow here

Just your voice and the hum of all these lights we fear

Maybe running out was never where you had to be

Maybe standing still right now is the boldest thing you can see

Chorus – male vocal, swelling harmonies

Skyline at midnight, skyline at midnight

Your shoulder catches amber before it hits my eyes

Say what you came for while the whole city holds its breath

Cause skyline at midnight is always the truth
