[Intro] (Ooh— can you hear it from down there?) [Verse 1] Fingers on the railing, city half asleep Sunlight cuts the morning, seven stories deep Last night I was whispering, songs to keep you warm Now the sky's so loud I can't stay quiet anymore [Pre-Chorus] Clouds are stacking higher, towers made of white Like they're daring me to match their height [Chorus] So I'm turning up the summer, sending out the sound Past the antennas, over the town If you're somewhere listening, look up now This is my cumulus drive — I'll meet you above the clouds [Verse 2] Headphones on my shoulders, wind inside my hair Every window shining like the city's saying "there—" I used to keep my volume low, afraid to take the space Today the sky's an open floor, and I know my place [Pre-Chorus] Thermals lifting higher, no ceiling in the blue One breath from the rooftop straight to you [Chorus] So I'm turning up the summer, sending out the sound Past the antennas, over the town If you're somewhere listening, look up now This is my cumulus drive — I'll meet you above the clouds [Bridge] The lullaby I sang here, when the skyline was asleep Kept the melody till morning, now it's mine to keep Same railing, same horizon, brand-new key— Daylight version of me [Final Chorus] Turning up the summer, sending out the sound Past the antennas, over the town If you ever lost your way, look up now This is my cumulus drive — come find me above the clouds [Outro] (Above the clouds…) Look back, and smile — the sky's already loud
