DRAW THE SKY

[Intro - Distant Radio]

Three, two, one

The last train leaves

Somewhere across the city

A little light blinks twice

You still remember

So do I

[Verse 1]

Midnight spilling from a vending machine

Silver rooftops in a violet dream

One loose screw and a crooked wheel

Still the only way I know to feel

You left a signal on the eastern side

Two little flashes through the window blinds

I take the stairs to the highest floor

Kick at the sky like an open door

The city draws its roads in straight lines

I’ve been coloring outside them all my life

A thousand windows, a million names

Only one light calling me again

[Pre-Chorus]

Count the towers, count the trains

Watch the distance rearrange

One deep breath, the engines rise

Tonight we draw across the sky

[Chorus]

Draw the sky!

Cut a curve through the city lights

Turn the rooftops into stepping stones

I’m coming over, you’re not alone

Fly so high!

Leave a trail where the stars collide

Every wrong turn, every broken line

Brings me closer to your side

No roads, no signs

We’ll draw our own tonight

Oh-oh-oh

Draw the sky!

[Post-Chorus]

Up, up, over the avenue

One more turn and I’m coming through

Up, up, into the blue

I can see you

I can see you

[Verse 2]

Seven stories and a railway bend

The old arcade where the buildings end

They’re tearing it down when the morning comes

One last night for the place we loved

I see your shadow on the water tower

Counting down to the final hour

You wave your jacket like a little flag

I lean forward, never looking back

Then the skyrail ends without a sound

Just empty air and the sleeping town

My board hangs still at the broken edge

There’s no more track between me and you

[Pre-Chorus]

All the shortcuts led me here

All the city disappears

You raise your hand against the light

I let go of the other side

[Chorus]

Draw the sky!

Cut a curve through the city lights

Turn the rooftops into stepping stones

I’m coming over, you’re not alone

Fly so high!

Leave a trail where the stars collide

Every wrong turn, every broken line

Brings me closer to your side

No roads, no signs

We’ll draw our own tonight

Oh-oh-oh

Draw the sky!

[Bridge - Half-Time / Floating]

For one long second

Nothing moves

No wheel

No rail

No ground

I hear the morning

Underneath the town

And suddenly I understand

A road is only where we land

Not where we planned to go

[Silence]

You shout my name

I turn around

[Beat Drop]

And the whole sky opens now!

[Final Chorus - Full Band]

Draw the sky!

Let the morning split the night

Two bright shadows above the trains

Running together through the fading rain

Fly so high!

Watch the streets turn gold and white

Even if they tear our old place down

They can’t erase the roads we’ve found

Draw the sky!

Every fall becomes another line

You and I on the eastern side

Laughing louder than the warning signs

No roads, no signs

No perfect way to get it right

We made it here

We made it here

Oh-oh-oh

Draw the sky!

[Outro - Guitar Feedback / Wind]

The city wakes

The lights go pale

Two boards resting

On an empty rail

You look at me

And laugh again

“Same time tomorrow?”

“Yeah.”
