[Verse 1]
Cold train window
Mama cryin’, bags on knees
Passport photo
Little kid that can’t say “please”
Loud plane engines
Cheap seat over endless seas
Touchdown, new slang
New school that laughs at me
Late nights, couch bed
Visa letters, ramen steam
Step pops yellin’
Blue wall, silent scream
Pocket change, anger
Heart full of gasoline
Soon as they said “land of dreams”
I learned what shadows mean
[Pre-Chorus]
I was chasin’ any high
That would drown my native tongue
Let the powder numb the sky
Let the smoke fill up my lungs
Didn’t care if I would die
If the party stayed young
Every sunrise was a lie
Every heartbeat came unsung
[Chorus]
From Kyiv to the glow
I was runnin’ from my ghost
Put my faith into the snow
Into bottles, into smoke
But Your name hit my soul
Like a bass I couldn’t hold
Now I’m dancin’, dancin’ home
From Kyiv to the glow
From Kyiv to the glow (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Bathroom mirror
Red eyes, stranger in my face
Credit cards, key lines
Friends that vanish every case
Fake love, fast texts
Bodies, but an empty space
I would pray to any god
Who would let me feel erased
But You pulled up in the silence
In a room that smelled like sin
Heart humming like a siren
Hands shaking, caving in
I said, “If You really out there
I’m so tired of this spin”
Then that dark inside my chest
Felt a tiny light begin
[Pre-Chorus]
All the nights I should’ve died
You were right there in the fog
On the floor, I broke and cried
Name I couldn’t even spell to call
Didn’t shine like neon signs
Just a whisper, soft and small
But it cut through every line
Like it never feared the fall
[Chorus]
From Kyiv to the glow
I was runnin’ from my ghost
Put my faith into the snow
Into bottles, into smoke
But Your name hit my soul
Like a bass I couldn’t hold
Now I’m dancin’, dancin’ home
From Kyiv to the glow
From Kyiv to the glow (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Yeah, I wasted love
Gave my body, kept my heart shut
Traded touch for trust
Turned “I need You” into “what’s up”
On the floor, hands up
Said, “I’m done, I’ve had enough”
You ain’t flinch at all my dirt
You just called it “child, get up”
[Chorus]
From Kyiv to the glow
I’m not runnin’ from my ghost
I got scars, I let ’em show
They’re the map back to Your hope
Now Your name in my soul
Is the only high I know
So I’m dancin’, dancin’ home
From Kyiv to the glow
From Kyiv to the glow (from Kyiv to the glow)
