Lyric

Kitchen window

Midnight sky

Steam on the glass

City humming low

Leaning on the sill

Bare feet on tile

Tiny dots of life in every glow

Laundry lines and crooked chimneys

Old brick walls that hold their scars

Somewhere past the last antenna

I feel something pull me toward the dark

Beyond the rooftops

Just above my doubt

All the heavy noise

Softens into sound

Beyond the rooftops

I don’t need to move

Just to lift my eyes

And change my view

Neighbors talking in the stairwell

Taxi turning at the corner store

All that small and restless motion

Starts to fade

I feel something more

Breathe in

Let the ceiling melt away

Lean in

To the quiet when you’re afraid

You’re held

By the space above the air

Lift your eyes

Lift your eyes

It’s already there

Beyond the rooftops

Nothing shining bright

Just a wider room

Inside the night

Beyond the rooftops

I don’t chase the view

I stay right here

And see it through
