Bright Shine

CUSTOM

Then the current went quiet, the whole block went still 
And I saw you by the fire escape, leaning on the cold steel 
Of the old stair rail, looking up at the black 
Like you were waiting for a feeling, turning your own way back

Oh, the Bright Shine just broke upon the ground 
Didn't need a picture, didn't need to scroll around. 
Yeah, you’re the human vibration in a world built on sound 
Turning my whole world upside down, down, down
You’re the sweet sound I need to hear, when the volume gets too loud 
A sweet distortion in this lonely, lonely crowd

Yo, checked the surroundings, saw the strange way you moved your hand 
Not like the movements they teach you, not like the life they planned 
Us all since getting started, keep it tight, keep it true 
But your edges were rough, and your eyes saw clean through. 
You were speaking in a rhythm, that only my own beat understood 
A strange transmission from the wrong side of the neighborhood. 
You got that strange pace, yeah, the one they left behind, see? 
A secret pulse throbbing in the middle of the dark city

And every nerve in my body, every pathway starts to change 
'Cause when you look at me, there's an honest hue in your range. 
Not the factory standard, not the measured scale 
It’s something vibrant, something real, something that won't fail. 
Yeah, you're the hidden heart that I was meant to feel

...Just a feeling
...a sweet new feeling

I was running on empty, head full of grey, flat on the pavement Another late hour downtown, just the drizzle and the cement. Swapping quiet thoughts for faces, yeah, the usual drill Felt like a shadow in the structure, standing terribly still. The harsh light on the storefronts, it was washing out the sense Just another blank story lacking any consequence Then the current went quiet, the whole block went still And I saw you by the fire escape, leaning on the cold steel Of the old stair rail, looking up at the black Like you were waiting for a feeling, turning your own way back Oh, the Bright Shine just broke upon the ground Didn't need a picture, didn't need to scroll around.
