Skyline On My Side

[Verse 1]

Alarm rings

Coffee in a paper cup

Missed my train

Laughing as I jog to catch up

Billboards

Staring like they know my name

Red lights

Dare me just to cross the lane

[Pre-Chorus]

Every window holds a story

Every crosswalk feels like mine

I’ve been standing at the border

Now I’m stepping over lines

[Chorus]

I’ve got the skyline on my side tonight

All of these dreams are in traffic with mine

Running on hope and a little divide

But I’m not turning back this time

Up on the rooftops

I see it so bright

Every wrong turn still leads to the climb

City of chances

I’m ready to fight

Chasing my dreams in the streetlight shine

[Verse 2]

Cheap rent

Walls thin

I hear the band upstairs

Same chords

Same wish floating in the air

Side jobs

Counting every borrowed day

Still I

Pin tomorrow on my subway page

[Pre-Chorus]

Every echo sounds like promise

Every setback

Just a sign

I’ve been stuck inside the chorus

Now I’m writing every line

[Chorus]

I’ve got the skyline on my side tonight

All of these dreams are in traffic with mine

Running on hope and a little divide

But I’m not turning back this time

Up on the rooftops

I see it so bright

Every wrong turn still leads to the climb

City of chances

I’m ready to fight

Chasing my dreams in the streetlight shine

[Bridge]

Maybe I fall

Maybe I break

Still I will show up

Still I will stay

When the noise gets loud

I’ll raise my voice

This is my life now

This is my choice (yeah)

[Chorus]

I’ve got the skyline on my side tonight

All of these dreams are in traffic with mine

Running on hope and a little divide

But I’m not turning back this time

Up on the rooftops

I see it so bright

Every wrong turn still leads to the climb

City of chances

I’m ready to fight

Chasing my dreams in the streetlight shine
