-Skyline Autograph
Intro
Ticket stubs like tiny comets, drifting by the river rail
Billboards breathing in the drizzle, fonts that learn my spelled-out tale
Verse 1
Coffee steaming on the windows, tracing cursive on the glass
Kept a calendar of maybes, colored dots that never passed
Elevator sings in thirds, floor by floor and breath by breath
I return the borrowed thunder, pin a sunrise to my chest
Shoelaces in neon puddles, taxi halos blur to lace
Every “later” losing letters—see me fix the missing place
Pre-Chorus
Juno curtains opening wider, kick and snare draw silver lines
Every pad says “you’re allowed,” I’m arriving right on time
Chorus
So I write my skyline autograph in light
At a steady 110, the city keeps it tight
Dreamy synths with city-pop in flight
If you’re static, I’m the satellite
No more whispered alibis—I color in the night
I write my skyline autograph in light
Verse 2
On my fridge a map of futures, taped with mango soda lids
Plants that learn my window language, slow applause for all I did
Crosswalk blinking friendly amber, patience humming under rain
I exchange the hush for melody, take the local, not the plane
Puddles open into planets, traffic sings in major 9ths
Past me waves from old apartments—thanks, I’ll take it from here, fine
Pre-Chorus
Hear the bassline tie a ribbon through the fog beneath my ribs
Little vox-chops in the spaces, secret door that finally gives
Chorus
So I write my skyline autograph in light
At a steady 110, the city keeps it tight
Dreamy synths with city-pop in flight
If you’re static, I’m the satellite
No more whispered alibis—I color in the night
I write my skyline autograph in light
Bridge
Here’s to keys I keep on purpose, calls I make and calls I end
Receipts for gentle boundaries, stubborn sweet and tender friends
If I stumble on the downbeat, call it choreography
Every detour is a chorus walking back to carry me
Chorus (Final)
Autograph glowing—say my name in light (say it bright)
110 and rising—city on my side
Dreams in stereo, harmony in flight
Freeze the frame—I’m stepping in the light
No more whispered alibis—I color in the night
Skyline autograph—watch me crystallize
Outro
Escalators hum a lullaby; morning leans across the rails
Pocket one small spark for later; let the rest set sail
