Damnwells - She's The New York City Skyline lyrics
rate meShe never stared too long at distant lights<br />
She always kept the ones here close and bright<br />
She met me in the darkness<br />
Reached out for my hand and said good night<br />
She’s constant like the ringing in my ears<br />
She’s drowning out the silence of my fears<br />
I’ve looked for her reflection<br />
In all the pretty girls throughout the years<br />
She’s staring at the shadows<br />
Dancing on the walls<br />
She’s the New York City skyline<br />
Bound to catch the heavens if they fall<br />
She never signed her paintings with a name<br />
She surrendered “I love you’s†with bitter shame<br />
She echoed in the season<br />
And filled me with her sweet Italian ray<br />
She's burning like the fires of the sun<br />
She's Friday night when Sunday’s almost done<br />
She's fireflies and splinters<br />
Long after the winter had begun<br />
I see her wrapping ribbons<br />
Somewhere down the hall<br />
She's a million simple answers<br />
Waiting for your midnight drunken call<br />
She's a memory of something you can feel<br />
She's hidden in the world that she conceals<br />
She's strength in every weakness<br />
Beating in a heart you cannot steal<br />
She never shows the color of her eyes<br />
She's far away but closer than the skies<br />
I’m waiting in her footsteps<br />
If she is not the truth I’ll take the lie<br />
She's a watercolor window<br />
Far across the sea<br />
She's a burning neon spotlight<br />
Shining on the things I cannot leave<br />
She never turns the light out for the moon<br />
She always shows up late when I’m too soon<br />
She's a harmony and a whisper<br />
Singing along with all my sappy tunes<br />
She's all the reasons why you run away<br />
She's all the reasons why you want to stay<br />
The tangled part of mystery<br />
Is gonna bleed for someone else someday<br />
I see her in the bedroom<br />
Sleeping next to me<br />
She's enough grace and wisdom<br />
To set the whole world free<br />
She's staring at the shadows<br />
Dancing on the wall<br />
She's the New York City skyline<br />
Bound to catch the heavens if they fall
