Lyric

[Verse 1]

Crosswalk lights still changing

Though nobody was there

Newspapers against the sidewalk

Wet from the night air

The coffee shop was closing

Chairs turned upside down

A bus moved through the intersection

Without making a sound

[Pre-Chorus]

Everything felt temporary

Even the light

[Chorus]

The streets before sunrise

Holding onto silence

Under pale blue clouds

The streets before sunrise

All the distant windows

Slowly fading out

[Verse 2]

Steam rising from the subway

Disappearing fast

Someone walking with their headphones on

Head down in the cold

Your voice came back in fragments

Mixed into the traffic hum

Like the city almost knew

What i was trying not to feel

[Bridge]

Slowly

The buildings lost their shadows

Slowly

The sky turned silver-grey

[Final Chorus]

The streets before sunrise

Nothing really stopped here

It just kept moving through

The streets before sunrise

The whole city breathing

Softly into light
