Cement whispers under my feet streetlights hum like sirens bittersweet The skylines a ghost a jagged crown this island city wears its solitude loud Were shadows in the harbor glow love like a secret nobody knows The waves crash soft theyre keeping time a rhythm too big for this heart of mine Neon flickers a Morse code prayer I look for you but youre not there The stars hide behind the citys sigh even the moon feels shy tonight Were lanterns on the shore flickering searching for more Lost in the tide but still we stay love in a city that fades away We burn bright even when were alone in this lonely city weve made our home Rain falls soft like an old refrain washing the salt from the windowpane Your laughs an echo in the ferrys wake a fleeting thing this heart cant shake The hills rise high theyre watching still our loves a whisper against their will Were strangers here but we belong a quiet duet in a crowded song The wind carries your name like a hymn I trace it back to where we begin The streets are empty but they still hum a melody of all weve become Were lanterns on the shore flickering searching for more Lost in the tide but still we stay love in a city that fades away We burn bright even when were alone in this lonely city weve made our home The island hums a sirens hymn pulling us deeper pulling us in We hold on tight though the worlds unkind loves the only tether we can find Lanterns on the shore we dont ask for more In this lonely city loves our light even in the dark we burn bright Even in the dark we burn bright
