Вступление
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Yeah I was pushing my way,
Through the five o'clock flow
Head down moving fast too many places to go
Running late again, fighting clocks and cars,
Forced to slow down at the next boulevard
Did not see the curb didn't see the you too
Till we collided felt like fate I knew
[Verse 2]
I was pulling my coat tight against the wind
Trying to untangle the week I was in
The countdown flashed five four three
For we darted for the gap where the safe side be
But the taxi surged forward the moment was lost
As we stalled right here only halfway across
[Chorus]
Traffic screaming headlights gleaming
Crosslights blinking as i walk shrinking
Your eyes glancing
My heart dancing
Now were caught on an island in the middle of the street
Where the east bound thunders and the west bound meets
Just two feet of concrete to stand our ground
While the whole city swirls around and around
Yeah the lights Stuck red but I don't mind the cost
There's a rare kind of quiet here with you halfway across
[Verse 3]
A bus roared by and shook through my bones
I slipped nearly fell on the sidewalk stones
You reached for my hand just to steady my frame
I laughed out soft didnt know your name
But standing this close where I’d fallen down
Suddenly felt like the safest corner in town
[Verse 4]
My phone buzzed twice in the pocket of my coat
Deadlines begging and reminders I wrote
But I let them all ring while the traffic roared
Cos talking with you is a better reward
The light blinked green but I pulled you back slow
Said wait two more minutes before we go
[Bridge]
You whispered this is risky
and I said I know
But I'm in no hurry for the light to tell us to go
[Chorus]
Traffic screaming headlights gleaming
Crosswalk blink and sidewalk shrinking your
Eyes glancing my heart dancing
Now I stuck on this island in the middle of the street
Where the east side races and the west side beats
Just two feet of concrete but it somehow feels like
A soft little pause in the gears of the worlds wheels
yeah
Yeah the lights still red but I don't mind the cost
This moment with you is worth it halfway across
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Look, the crosswalk sign is turning white
The cars are slowing stopping at the lights
we could chase the sidewalks safer side
Or let out plans get realigned
I'm forgetting what I was rushing for
On that little island between lanes we survived no we thrived
but we still had to move if we wanted to reach the other side
not in my wildest dreams did I think I'd find a moment with someone like you
In the city's grind so let's where this goes we've gone halfway now
Now let's go all the way
