City Lights Below

[Intro] [whispered] Elevator hums, the last floor's gone Concrete under me, the city breathing on [Verse 1] Twelfth of steel and glass below my shoes No one calling now, no ringing to refuse The traffic runs like water far away I let the whole day slip and drift away [Pre-Chorus] Nothing holds me here, no name, no weight Just the cool of air, the quiet, the late [Chorus] Let me float above the lights tonight Let the ground let go, I'm learning how to rise Every window down there burning small and gold And I'm bigger than the room I used to hold Float above the lights tonight [Verse 2] Somewhere down a phone still waits for me Left it on the ledge and let it be Steam is climbing from the vents like ghosts Softer than the things I fear the most [Pre-Chorus] Nothing holds me here, no name, no weight Just the cool of air, the quiet, the late [Chorus] Let me float above the lights tonight Let the ground let go, I'm learning how to rise Every window down there burning small and gold And I'm bigger than the room I used to hold Float above the lights tonight [Bridge] [soft] Funny how the small things shrink from here The rent, the missed calls, all the years From this high up they're only threads of light And I could let them go and love them just the same [Breakdown] [whispered] Let go... let go... The ground was never holding you [Chorus] Let me float above the lights tonight Let the ground let go, I'm learning how to rise Every window down there burning small and gold And I'm bigger than the room I used to hold [Outro] [soft] Float, float above the lights Morning's gonna find me lighter than the night
