[Intro]
(oh long night)
(wonderful night)
(oh oooh hmmm)

[Verse 1]
Standing up here,
looking down at our small town,
The lights are breathing slow,
like they don’t wanna drown.
It’s wonderful, it’s strange,
this feeling inside,
So quiet, yet loud,
where my thoughts collide.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m thankful for the air,
the stars, this view,
But something inside
asks what I should do.
Am I hiding from the noise,
or finding my peace?
Or am I just scared
of what I might release?

[Chorus]
I’m standing up here,
while the city sleeps below,
I see their fires burning,
soft and low.
Should I be sorry I’m not fighting
with them down there?
Or hate myself for thinking
I’ve had enough to spare?

[Verse 2]
Curious hearts,
beating down those narrow streets,
I used to run with them,
chasing our defeats.
Now I stand apart,
above it all somehow,
But distance doesn’t mean
I understand it now.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m thankful for the calm,
this quiet night,
But something feels off
beneath the light.
I see their shadows,
I hear their songs,
And wonder if leaving
made me wrong.

[Chorus]
I’m standing up here,
while the city sleeps below,
I see their fires burning,
soft and low.
Should I be sorry
I’m not fighting with them down there?
Or hate myself for thinking
I’ve had enough to spare?

[Bridge]
The wind tells stories
of the lives I knew,
Of laughter, of chaos,
of skies once blue.
I thought I was growing,
but maybe I’m small,
Standing up high,
but not standing at all.

[Chorus]
I’m standing up here,
while the city sleeps below,
I see their fires burning,
soft and low.
Should I be sorry
I’m not fighting with them down there?
Or hate myself for thinking
I’ve had enough to spare?

[Outro]
Wonderful and curious,
this view tonight,
But the higher I climb,
the less I feel right.
Still, I whisper thanks
into the air,
For standing up here
even if I don’t know where.
