[Verse 1] I keep one hand on the rail One eye fixed on the pale blue sign The room turns slow when the pressure fails And your voice cuts clean through mine No grand entrance, no borrowed flame Just a pulse under worn-out shoes You say my name like a small escape And I step where the floor gives room [Pre-Chorus] Let the ceiling rise by inches Let the locked door lose its weight Every doubt becomes a distance Every breath arrives too late [Chorus] We go up without leaving ground Quiet sparks in a buried town You pull me through when the walls lean in I find the edge, then begin again [Verse 2] There’s a blue mark across your thumb From the train map folded tight You laugh at the places we never went Then point to the ones still alive I had a list of the ways to stall You tore it clean down the middle Now the smallest room can hold us both When the rhythm turns irregular [Bridge] Hold steady Not forever Just long enough to feel it change [Chorus] We go up without leaving ground Quiet sparks in a buried town You pull me through when the walls lean in I find the edge, then begin again [Outro] No more waiting for the sign No more measuring the climb You pull me through, I answer back A little light along the track
