[Intro] Another light goes out Another sleepless city wakes The road still has no ending I’m not quite ready to give in [Verse 1] In Ephyra Nine, the night sifts dust into my collar The core rolls down the endless slope and they send it back up again They say this is how a life goes: keep moving, return to the start I lean against the wall and let out a breath At least tonight, I get to take it slow [Pre-Chorus] When you came closer through the crowd I almost forgot to play it cool That promise we made to leave someday I never threw it out, just stopped bringing it up [Chorus] The world can make us push tomorrow uphill Let it roll away a little while I don’t need to win that argument I’d rather walk a few more streets with you If you still remember what we promised I’ll leave the last light on for you You don’t have to answer now I’m only stubborn enough to hope there’s something past the summit and you might be there [Verse 2] I know freedom doesn’t come cheap Even hope has to be saved So I won’t dress it up in pretty words or hold your choices in my hands If you want to go, I’ll show you the way If you want to stay, sit here awhile I say it doesn’t matter either way My hand still remembers yours [Pre-Chorus] Look, the city wind is rising again It can’t erase the names we had The future we once talked about may not be out of time just yet [Chorus] The world can make us push tomorrow uphill Let it roll away a little while I don’t need to win that argument I’d rather walk a few more streets with you If you still remember what we promised I’ll leave the last light on for you You don’t have to answer now I’m only stubborn enough to hope there’s something past the summit and you might be there [Bridge] If tomorrow looks the same If every door leads back where we began Then let’s take it slower slow enough to hear each other speak This isn’t some heroic vow I can’t promise the world will change I’m just still here when you look back I haven’t gone that far [Final Chorus] The world can make us push tomorrow uphill This time, I’ll walk beside you halfway We can leave the rest for another day Tonight, we don’t have to say goodbye If you still haven’t chosen where to go I’ll leave that little light where it is You don’t have to answer now I’m only stubborn enough to hope there’s something past the summit and you might be there [Outro] One by one, the city lights go dark We’re walking slowly; that’s all right If tomorrow brings us back to the start at least tonight, we walked together
