Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Rust came off the ladder on my hands
You went up first and never asked me why
The concrete's still warm through my jacket
We caught the last of the orange in the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
For years I ran from a quiet room
Like it had teeth, like it wanted me
It sat down beside me tonight and let me be

[Chorus]
Red lights blinking on the towers again
Four million asleep and I'm finally still
Let the rest of it burn, this hour is ours
And I'll climb back up, I always will

[Verse 2]
You pointed at a window going out
Then two more down the block, then twenty-three
I used to hear a countdown in the dark
Tonight it's just the city breathing out

[Pre-Chorus]
The keys are in my pocket, they can stay
The hum of the building comes up through the floor
I ran my whole life like something was behind me
Tonight there's nothing at the door

[Chorus 2]
Red lights blinking on the towers again
Four million asleep and I'm finally still
Let the rest of it burn, this hour is ours
And I'll climb back up, I always will

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
There goes the last window, somebody's kitchen light
You waited the whole thing out with me
I don't have a big word for what this is
I'd climb a hundred floors for it

[Final Chorus]
Red lights blinking on the towers again
Four million asleep and I'm finally still
Let the rest of it burn, this hour is ours
And I'll climb back up here every time
(every time)

[Outro]
Four million asleep and I'm finally still
