[Verse 1] Marble steps under my feet Quiet hall The frames all breathe Every face turns back the years Gold and dust and whispered fears Walking slow through painted rooms Ceilings bloom in powdered blue Every brushstroke Every name Leads me back to where you came [Chorus] Uffizi in my veins My heart in Florence rain I feel the Medici Like they’re walking next to me Cosimo in every stone The city saying “This is home” History is not a page It’s the air inside my lungs today [Verse 2] Out the glass That river bends Like a line that never ends Courtyard echoes Patient walls Hold the weight of rise and fall Turning corners Turning time Portrait eyes that know my mind I can almost hear you say “Look around We built this place” (ohh) [Chorus] Uffizi in my veins My heart in Florence rain I feel the Medici Like they’re walking next to me Cosimo in every stone The city saying “This is home” All this beauty All this grace I can almost touch your ancient face [Bridge] Under the Duomo I stop and I stare Every brick a promise Every shadow a prayer Would this dome be rising if you never dreamed? I’m closer to you than I’ve ever been [Chorus] Uffizi in my veins My heart too full to name I feel the Medici Like they’re living here in me Cosimo in every stone In the streets I walk alone All this history Wide and wide And I carry it burning inside
