Lyric

In mirrored towers I see

A faceless crowd on a stage

Everyone playing their part

Hiding where they truly belong

At the crossing I could be swallowed whole

By how the city starts to breathe too fast

My shoes worn thin, still tapping out

That scraping, stubborn sound

The more I tell myself “be stronger”

The more my heart turns slightly transparent

Under a sky full of noise

I thought there was nothing

Left to believe in

Inside my chest, about to split apart

I kept this scream locked up

Riding an awkward melody

I'm letting it out—right now

With a heat that could melt

This frozen asphalt

I'll cross the night to get to you

The moment I cleared the ticket gate

The wind struck my cheek

Under a night sky I've seen a thousand times

One shadow stretched out long

Always chasing the “right” answer

Getting lost in the same night

I just needed the courage

To take one step

Staring at the phone screen

My trembling fingertips chose

One line: “I miss you”

Out of every word in the world

All the pretty ones included

I want to send this plain, unadorned voice

Straight to you

Even a million city lights

Blur beside this feeling

I'll let this rhythm ring

And cross a lonely world

Past waves of backs that pass me by

Beyond the crowd—

That unchanged silhouette

Inside my chest, about to split apart

I kept this scream locked up

Riding an awkward melody

I'm letting it out—right now

With a heat that could melt

This frozen asphalt

The hands of time start moving again

The cold wind

Turns just a little softer

Our eyes collide

And a small smile spills out

In a rhythm only we can know

We start walking—past the dawn
