[Intro] (Slow acoustic guitar picking, muted trumpet softly in background) [Verse 1] (Whispered, intimate male vocal, soft brush snare) Walking down these quiet avenue streets Watching shadows stretch on the concrete Traffic lights flickering yellow to red Thinking 'bout the words that you never said [Pre-Chorus] (Gentle bass guitar, subtle organ pad) And the city lights fade into the gray Does it ever feel like we're slipping away? [Chorus] (Soft melancholic vocals, trumpet harmony, warm room acoustics) Do the tall glass walls make you feel alive? Or are we just trying to survive? Tell me, do the cold gray streets make you smile? Or do you wanna stay here with me a while? [Verse 2] (Bare guitar and quiet bass pulse) Sirens echoing three blocks down Just another midnight in this sleepy town You pull your coat tight against the chill Standing at the window, looking so still [Pre-Chorus] (Gentle bass guitar, soft trumpet entry) And the city lights fade into the gray Does it ever feel like we're slipping away? [Chorus] (Warm melancholic vocals, gentle trumpet melody, quiet brushed drums) Do the tall glass walls make you feel alive? Or are we just trying to survive? Tell me, do the cold gray streets make you smile? Or do you wanna stay here with me a while? [Bridge] (Slow trumpet solo, delicate acoustic strumming, minimal rhythm) [Outro] (Slow acoustic picking fading out, soft breathy voice, subtle ambient street noise) Do they make you smile...? Just a little while... (Fade out)
