Lyric

Streetlight silver on the ceiling

Cars like rivers far below

I can hear the city breathing

Through the cracks of half-closed roads

Across the block a kitchen’s glowing

Someone else forgot to sleep

Funny how a thousand strangers

Keep each other company

Maybe loneliness looks different

From above

Windows at 2AM

Little squares of light

Proof that I’m not the only one

Trying to survive the night

Windows at 2AM

Quiet lives awake

Everyone holding something heavy

They don’t know how to name

Blue TV flicker in the distance

Someone smoking in the rain

Someone laughing on a balcony

Someone crying just the same

I used to think the dark was empty

Now I know it’s full of hearts

Beating softly behind curtains

Breaking quietly in the dark

Maybe healing happens slowly

Out of sight

Windows at 2AM

Little stars in rows

Every light a secret story

Only midnight knows

Windows at 2AM

I don’t feel as lost

When I see the world still glowing

Through the fog

Tomorrow they’ll be office towers

Apartment walls, routine again

But right now they are lanterns

For the ones who can’t pretend

Windows at 2AM

Soft and far and true

I thought I was alone tonight

Until I looked at you

Windows at 2AM

Slowly turning gold

Maybe all of us are carrying

More than we ever show

Windows at 2AM
