[Verse 1] Boxed noodles on the fire escape Playlist from when I felt brave Nova’s tail taps to the beat As taxis hum beneath my feet [Verse 2] I’m not in love, not even close But I like how the skyline knows How to hold me when I pause How to glitter through my flaws [Pre-Chorus] And maybe that’s enough for now To be still, to breathe, to allow [Chorus] (Cause in skylines like these, I see the girl) (Who’s not afraid to take the world) (One subway stop, one sunrise at a time) (She doesn’t need to be defined) She just lives, she just tries In skylines like these, I come alive [Verse 3] Papers stack, dreams unwind I forget what day I signed That lease, that job, that way back when But I don’t wanna go again [Pre-Chorus] There’s coffee stains and open plans And joy that doesn’t need a man [Chorus] (Cause in skylines like these, I write my name) (In fogged-up glass, in windowpanes) (I cook for one, and dance alone) (And call this tiny box my home) It’s not perfect, but it’s mine In skylines like these, I feel fine [Bridge – airy and reflective] I don’t need a thunderclap Just the quiet thrill of that That moment when the lights all blink And I forget to overthink [Final Chorus – lifted] (In skylines like these, I laugh too loud) (Leave the dishes, walk around) (Say hello to passing days) (Let the silence have its say) I don’t know what’s next to be But in skylines like these I’m starting to see… Me [Outro – ambient fade, soft vocals] Skylines like these Are enough for now
