Verse 1
Fifteen summers gone by the city still hums through my chest
Pigeons on the fire escape where we used to sit and rest
Tinted windows shining down with a light that cuts like a knife
Every corner I walk through, every face I think I might
Recognize is just another shadow cast in this neon haze
I learned how to read between the lines so I know exactly what they say
Pre-Chorus
Is it fear or is it hope and are we on the same page?
One thing for sure, I'm never gonna fade
Chorus
Clear to green, it's clear to green, watch us rise from the grey
Clear to green, it's clear to green, every single step, every single day
I've got a name but you don't know it yet and that is just fine
Keep your hands up high because we're gonna break through this neon line
Verse 2
Saw you moving through the crowd with a swagger I've never seen
Ripped fishnets, band tee tight, black eyeliner on your knee
I watched you take the whole room hostage like it was a one-woman show
Then your eyes caught mine and we both froze in time like the needle skipped right over the groove
Now we're standing face to face but I'm still reading signs
Pre-Chorus
Is it fear or is it hope and are we on the same page?
One thing for sure, I'm never gonna fade
Chorus
Clear to green, it's clear to green, watch us rise from the grey
Clear to green, it's clear to green, every single step, every single day
I've got a name but you don't know it yet and that is just fine
Keep your hands up high because we're gonna break through this neon line
Bridge
Maybe I was waiting for some cosmic sign to read our fate
But maybe it's just the hum of the city singing in my heart
Chorus
Clear to green, it's clear to green, watch us rise from the grey
Clear to green, it's clear to green, every single step, every single day
I've got a name but you don't know it yet and that is just fine
Keep your hands up high because we're gonna break through this neon line
