Lyric

Parked above the sleeping city

Headlights fading down below

Every window in the distance

Holds a life I'll never know

Radio is barely playing

Hands are resting in my lap

For a while I let the silence

Fill the spaces in the glass

Nothing needs an answer

Nothing needs a name

I can watch the little lights

Until they fade away

Distant windows

Glowing in the dark

Little pieces of the city

Shining from afar

Distant windows

Floating underneath

I can let the whole world move

Without moving me

Someone turns a bedroom light off

Another flickers into view

Cars are tracing through the valley

Tiny lines of white and blue

Cool air slipping through the window

Night is settling on the hill

I don't need to start the engine

I could stay a little still

Nothing needs an answer

Nothing needs a name

I can watch the little lights

Until they fade away

Distant windows

Glowing in the dark

Little pieces of the city

Shining from afar

Distant windows

Floating underneath

I can let the whole world move

Without moving me

Far lights

Slow air

Thousands of stories everywhere

No sound

No rush

Tonight the view is enough

Distant windows

Glowing in the dark

Little pieces of the city

Shining from afar

Distant windows

Floating underneath

I can let the whole world move

Without moving me

Distant windows

Slowly fading
