Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We stack steel higher than thunder
Glass bones cutting the blue
We carve our names in the skyline
Still don’t know what to do with you
We send our eyes out past Saturn
Chasing dust in the dark
But down here under the overpass
You just need a blanket and a spark
[Chorus]
We can build a tower that kisses the sky
Raise up a monument
Call it divine
But I don’t understand how a heart stays blind
Skyscrapers and sidewalks
And you left behind
[Verse 2]
We polish screens on our tables
Every face in our hand
But somehow you fade in the doorway
Like you’re made out of smoke and sand
We grow food by the freight-load
Watch it rot in the rain
While you stand outside the diner
Counting quarters
Swallowing shame
[Chorus]
We can build a tower that kisses the sky
Raise up a monument
Call it divine
But I don’t understand how a heart stays blind
Skyscrapers and sidewalks
And you left behind
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s easier reaching for stars
Than reaching across this bench in the park
Maybe it’s safer to study the moon
Than sit in the shadows and make some room
[Chorus]
We can build a tower that kisses the sky
Raise up a monument
Call it divine
But I don’t understand how a heart stays blind
Skyscrapers and sidewalks
And you left behind

Style
folk, Warm folk ballad with male vocals, fingerpicked acoustic guitar and subtle upright bass. Verses stay intimate and conversational, close-mic’d vocal, slight tape saturation. Chorus blooms with gentle harmonies, brushed snare pulse, and soft organ pad rising in the background. Final pass strips back to solo guitar and voice for a quiet, reflective close.
