(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Verse 1)
Afternoon is painted gold
Watching all the stories fold
Hazy light across my room
Chasing shadows from the gloom
Got a coffee turning cold
On the table, truth be told
I don’t need to rush today
Watching minutes drift away
(Chorus)
Feel the static in the air
Like I haven't got a care
And the city holds its breath
Yeah, the city holds its breath
Everything is soft and slow
Nowhere else I need to go
Just the rhythm in my chest
And the city holds its breath
(Verse 2)
Window open, breeze comes in
Let the quiet life begin
Dust motes dancing in the beams
Waking up from heavy dreams
Turn the record, let it spin
Doesn't matter where I've been
Only matters where I am
Floating like a paper dam
(Bridge)
Sometimes the silence speaks the loudest
When the sky is feeling proudest
Painted blue and shifting grey
Let the troubles melt away
(Chorus)
Feel the static in the air
Like I haven't got a care
And the city holds its breath
Yeah, the city holds its breath
Everything is soft and slow
Nowhere else I need to go
Just the rhythm in my chest
And the city holds its breath
(Outro)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Just letting go...
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Taking it slow...
The city holds its breath.
