Three Floors Down

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain hits the iron rails
Summer heat begins to fail
Thunder rolling through the night
Looking for your amber light
Three floors down I see the glow
Where the quiet moments go
Wet pavement reflects the sky
As the city breathes a sigh
[Pre-Chorus]
I chased the morning sun
Before the day was done
Left the coffee getting cold
Traded love for what is sold
Now I'm standing in the mist
Thinking of the things I missed
[Chorus]
Soft routines we used to keep
While the city fell asleep
Now I'm high above the street
Feeling bitter, feeling sweet
Just a ghost against the glass
Watching all the seconds pass
(Ooh, watching them pass)
[Post-Chorus]
Velvet rain on my skin
Where do I even begin?
(Yeah, yeah)
Just a velvet dream
Lost within the steam
[Verse]
Satin sheets and dusty books
All the secret, heavy looks
I was checking every clock
Waiting for the door to lock
Busy hands and empty heart
Played the lonely, winning part
Now the silence is so loud
Underneath this heavy cloud
[Pre-Chorus]
I chased the morning sun
Before the day was done
Left the coffee getting cold
Traded love for what is sold
Now I'm standing in the mist
Thinking of the things I missed
[Chorus]
Soft routines we used to keep
While the city fell asleep
Now I'm high above the street
Feeling bitter, feeling sweet
Just a ghost against the glass
Watching all the seconds pass
(Ooh, watching them pass)
[Bridge]
The view is wider from the top
But the longing doesn't stop
I have the world inside my hand
But I've lost the promised land
Rain is washing out the pain
Only velvet truths remain
(Only truths remain)
[Chorus]
Soft routines we used to keep
While the city fell asleep
Now I'm high above the street
Feeling bitter, feeling sweet
Just a ghost against the glass
Watching all the seconds pass
(Ooh, watching them pass)
[Post-Chorus]
Velvet rain on my skin
Where do I even begin?
(Yeah, yeah)
Just a velvet dream
Lost within the steam
[Outro]
