[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.”
