Rooftop Ember
Drift
Heat rising from high places. Vocals glow against night sky, the sound of warmth at altitude. This track is the fire pit on the roof.
Lyrics
The city's breathing underneath us
All those windows all those lives
You brought a blanket and a playlist
I brought the last of the wine
We're the only ones still up here
The only ones who saw the sky
Turn from copper into violet
Without once asking why
Your voice gets softer near the edges
Of the things you almost say
The antenna's blinking red above us
Like a heart that's half awake
We're the only ones still up here
The only ones who saw the sky
Turn from copper into violet
Without once asking why
The ember's down to just the glow
Still warm enough to stay
