[Verse 1]
Coffee stains on my Sunday shirt
A love note scribbled in careless words
Streetlight flickers like a dying star
We’re royalty riding in a beat-up car
Empty cans rolling on the floor
Cracked voice saying “I want more”
We make cathedrals of crowded rooms
Turn grocery aisles into ballrooms
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
If it’s tragic, let’s make it ours
Find the magic in these scars
⸻
[Chorus]
Kiss me in fluorescent light
Make this gray feel black and white
Paint our names on bathroom walls
Crown ourselves in shopping malls
We’re a sonnet in the city grime
An anthem out of borrowed time
Romantic fools with broken wings
We find forever in the simplest things
⸻
[Verse 2]
Cigarette burns in plastic chairs
Confessions whispered up the stair
We toast with water in paper cups
Laugh like kings while the world gives up
We slow dance in the laundromat
Your hair tied up in a baseball cap
We write ballads on receipts
Crash like drums on empty streets
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
If it’s tragic, let’s make it ours
Find the magic in these scars
⸻
[Chorus]
Kiss me in fluorescent light
Make this gray feel black and white
Paint our names on bathroom walls
Crown ourselves in shopping malls
We’re a sonnet in the city grime
An anthem out of borrowed time
Romantic fools with broken wings
We find forever in the simplest things
⸻
[Bridge]
We’re holy in this dirty town
We’ll burn it all just to write it down
Bleed our hearts onto subway tiles
Make misery beautiful with crooked smiles
⸻
[Chorus – final]
Kiss me in fluorescent light
Make this gray feel black and white
Paint our names on bathroom walls
Crown ourselves in shopping malls
We’re a sonnet in the city grime
An anthem out of borrowed time
Romantic fools with broken wings
We find forever in the simplest things
⸻
[Outro]
Coffee stains and city sounds
We’re just ghosts that hang around
If this is all we ever know
Promise me we’ll make it glow
DreamyCow
