[Intro]
Nights on fire
In a broken skyline
Heartbeats, wire
But I still climb
[Verse 1]
Concrete halo on my head, I’m walking home
Same old avenue, but I feel grown
Every window like a memory, I can’t unknow
Every promise that we made in the afterglow
You were laughing in a taxi, said “we’ll run this town”
Now it’s just another place that can’t calm me down
I’ve been talking to the shadows on the overpass
Asking how the brightest things can fade this fast (yeah)
[Chorus]
Broken skyline
I’m still tracing our names in the high-rise lights
You were my lifeline
Now I’m singing to the dark on the edge of night
If you ever feel lost, just look up, I’m right there
In the color where the clouds and the wires all tear
Broken skyline
I’ll be waiting where the stars don’t shine
[Verse 2]
Got your jacket in the backseat, June turned cold
Every thread still smells like stories we told
I’ve been scrolling through the pictures we never post
All the versions of a future we almost wrote
Friends say “let it go,” but they don’t know the view
How the city looked electric standing next to you
Now the signs flicker out, but I stay switched on
‘Cause my chest still plays the moment you were gone (you were gone)
[Chorus]
Broken skyline
I’m still tracing our names in the high-rise lights
You were my lifeline
Now I’m singing to the dark on the edge of night
If you ever feel lost, just look up, I’m right there
In the color where the clouds and the wires all tear
Broken skyline
I’ll be waiting where the stars don’t shine
[Bridge]
Maybe we were just a spark in a midnight storm
Maybe we were made to break so something new is born
If you ever miss the view from when our worlds aligned
Close your eyes, you’ll hear my voice
Rising through the broken skyline (yeah)
[Chorus]
Broken skyline
I’m still tracing our names in the high-rise lights
You were my lifeline
Now I’m singing to the dark on the edge of night
If you ever feel lost, just look up, I’m right there
In the color where the clouds and the wires all tear
Broken skyline
I’ll be waiting where the stars don’t shine (don’t shine)
