[Verse 1] Alarm still ringing Toast in my teeth Shoes in my hand Running past the corner café You laugh “You’re late again” (hey!) Elevator crowded Strangers scrolling Faces blurred I catch my breath in glass reflections Mouth the words “I’ll make it work” [Chorus] Rush hour heartbeat Racing with the traffic light Skipping every other step Chasing down the day Alright High-rise feelings Lifting when you say my name Fast-paced city but you slow my frame [Verse 2] Lunch break on the rooftop Sticker on your laptop Dreams in code You say “Someday we’ll rent the sky” Then we’re running Time to go Train doors closing We squeeze in and start to sway Your shoulder steady in the chaos You shout “We’ll live it anyway” (oh, anyway) [Chorus] Rush hour heartbeat Racing with the traffic light Skipping every other step Chasing down the day Alright High-rise feelings Lifting when you say my name Fast-paced city but you slow my frame [Bridge] [Beat drops to bass Claps Quiet keys] Planets on the billboard spin Deadlines breathing down our necks But when your hand finds mine again All this speed just feels like flex [Chorus] Rush hour heartbeat Racing with the traffic light Skipping every other step Chasing down the day Alright (so alive) High-rise feelings Lifting when you say my name Fast-paced city but you hold my frame (hold me) [Chorus] Rush hour heartbeat Running till the neon fades Laughing as we miss our stop Taking the long way Unafraid High-rise feelings Fireworks between the trains Fast-paced city in our tangled veins
