Skyscraper Heart

[Intro]

[soft strings swell]

You left your coffee

On my windowsill

Morning still talking

Like you’re here

Still

[Verse 1]

Keys on the counter

Jacket on the chair

All of your echoes

Hanging in the air

Neighbors say I’m crazy

For saving your side

But I keep that space

Like a tiny shrine

[Chorus]

You built a skyscraper heart in my chest

Now every beat’s calling your name

I try to move on but I can’t forget

Every floor painted with your face

I keep riding up and down in the dark

Can’t find the way back to the start

Baby

You

You

You

You’re my skyscraper heart (oh)

You’re my skyscraper heart

[Verse 2]

Dinner on the stovetop

Cold from last night

Talk to your photo

Till I kill the lights

Friends say “just delete you”

Like it’s just a file

But love’s a long hallway

I still see your smile

[Chorus]

You built a skyscraper heart in my chest

Now every beat’s calling your name

I try to move on but I can’t forget

Every floor painted with your face

I keep riding up and down in the dark

Can’t find the way back to the start

Baby

You

You

You

You’re my skyscraper heart (yeah)

You’re my skyscraper heart

[Bridge]

Tell me

Do you ever

Hear my voice at night

Do you feel that elevator

Jerk inside

If you press that button

One more time

I’ll be in the lobby

Ready to rewind (hey!)

[Chorus]

You built a skyscraper heart in my chest

Now every beat’s calling your name

I try to move on but I can’t forget

Every floor painted with your face

I keep riding up and down in the dark

Can’t find the way back to the start

Baby

You

You

You

You’re my skyscraper heart

Baby

You

You

You

You’re my skyscraper heart (ooh)

You’re my skyscraper heart
