Lyric

I came in with a suitcase

And a head full of bright plans

Skyscrapers in the morning

Looked like promises in glass

I learned the names of stations

I learned to walk so fast

But every door I opened

Closed before I had the chance

I kept my smile together

On the crowded evening train

Told myself that falling down

Was just another name for change

How far can I go

When my heart is running empty

In a city made of windows

I can’t find my face tonight

All the dreams I held

Fold like maps inside my pocket

Still I’m standing in the rain

Trying not to disappear

Coffee on a late shift

Cold beneath the office light

Messages unanswered

Stacked up deeper than the night

I thought I’d be somebody

By the time the summer passed

But the calendar kept turning

And I kept coming in last

There’s a song inside the traffic

There’s a prayer beneath the noise

Maybe losing what I wanted

Doesn’t mean I lost my voice

Where do I begin

When the road has lost its meaning

In the corner of the city

I am learning how to breathe

Every plan I broke

Every name I couldn’t carry

Turns to rhythm in the silence

And stays here next to me

Maybe I was not defeated

Maybe I was only tired

Even stars above the skyline

Need the dark before they shine

How far can I go

When my heart is running empty

In a city made of windows

I can’t find my face tonight

All the dreams I held

Fold like maps inside my pocket

Still I’m standing in the rain

Trying not to disappear
