Skyline

Verse 1 City skyline painted gold Through a cracked windshield Didn’t think a moment this small Could feel this real Traffic hum like background noise To the way you smiled Funny how the simplest things Hit the deepest sometimes We were talkin’ ’bout nothing Bills and busy days But the way you said my name Made the noise all fade I used to chase the fireworks The loud and bright But peace don’t always glitter Sometimes it’s quiet light Pre-Chorus I was lookin’ up for miracles Big signs in the sky Didn’t know they hide In the blink of an eye Chorus That skyline painted everything gold But it wasn’t the view It was you I was holdin’ close When the colors broke through Yeah, sometimes the smallest things Remind you what’s true Heaven don’t always shout Sometimes it whispers to you Verse 2 Corner store coffee Two straws, one cup Laughin’ at the radio Windows rolled up We ain’t had much money Didn’t need a lot Every ordinary second Felt like we were caught In between the rush And the plans we make We forget that love Ain’t always earthquakes Sometimes it’s steady Sometimes it’s slow Sometimes it’s just stayin’ When you could go Pre-Chorus I was waitin’ for a breakthrough A lightning-in-the-dark Didn’t see forever Was parked right where we are Chorus That skyline painted everything gold But it wasn’t the view It was who I was with When the daylight broke through Yeah, sometimes the smallest things Carry the most truth We all need reminders Of what we’d lose Bridge (Lift / Expansive) We chase the highlight reels The loud applause But love’s in the in-between In the sacred pause In sunsets you almost miss If you blink too soon In “stay a little longer” On a Tuesday afternoon Final Chorus (Big but emotional) That skyline painted everything gold But I finally knew It ain’t the city lights It’s who’s next to you Yeah, sometimes the little things Save you from the blue Heaven don’t always shout Sometimes it whispers… Through you
