Lyrics
[Soft Felt Rhodes Intro]
skyline hums a synthetic hymn, chrome reflects a stranger's smile.
[Verse 1]
strobe light finds the ghost in me, I remember.
neon paints the rain in pink, still and tender.
signs spell dreams in borrowed light, a quiet ember.
the crowd is loud and I'm unseen, now or never.
[Pre-Chorus]
we are glitter on a dirty floor, pulling me under.
uptown burns a tender blue, I'm not done, I'm not done.
[Chorus]
we are the city, we are the glow.
a thousand windows, none are mine, holding the sound.
the avenue pulses like a vein, spinning me round.
we are the city, we are the glow.
[Verse 2]
chrome reflects a stranger's smile, different weather.
neon paints the rain in pink, we're still together.
the crowd is loud and I'm unseen
light as a feather.
uptown burns a tender blue, now or never.
[Chorus]
we are the city, we are the glow.
a thousand windows, none are mine, holding the sound.
the avenue pulses like a vein, spinning me round.
we are the city, we are the glow.
[Bridge]
Oh, strobe light finds the ghost in me, let it mend, let it mend.
signs spell dreams in borrowed light, now I'm safe, now I'm safe.
we are glitter on a dirty floor — I am whole, I am whole.
[Chorus]
we are the city, we are the glow.
a thousand windows, none are mine, holding the sound.
the avenue pulses like a vein, spinning me round.
we are the city, we are the glow.
[Outro]
skyline hums a synthetic hymn...
we are the city, we are the glow.
[Fade Out]
