Same Streets, Different Skies

Verse
Alarm clock coughs again at half past five
Grey light leaks through the blinds like a question
Cold tea rings on a cluttered desk
Keys in my pocket, head full of “what’s next?”
Neighbours arguing through paper-thin walls
Someone’s laughing, someone’s late for a call

Pre-Chorus
Shoelace snaps, but I tie it tight
Tell myself I’ll fix it tonight

Chorus
It’s the same streets, different skies
Same old fears in brand-new eyes
We’re just trying to feel alive
Between the bus stop and the nine-to-five
Yeah, the days blur, the nights fly by
But I still look up when the sun breaks through
Same streets, different skies
Still chasing something true

Verse
Train platform humming like a restless heart
Scrolling lives that look better than ours
A guy in a suit dreams of running away
A girl with headphones mouths words she won’t say
Coffee spills on yesterday’s news
Another headline nobody chooses

Pre-Chorus
Missed the stop but I don’t mind
Gives me time to lose my mind

Chorus
It’s the same streets, different skies
Same mistakes in different lives
We’re just trying to feel alright
Between the wrong turns and the sleepless nights
Yeah, the days drag, the years race by
But I still believe in a change or two
Same streets, different skies
Still chasing something true

Bridge
If this is all there is
I’ll make it mine
Find gold in the cracks
Between the seconds and time
We’re not lost, just learning the route
With worn-out shoes and nothing to prove

Breakdown
Ooh—
Counting steps to feel control
Ooh—
Trying not to feel so small

Chorus
It’s the same streets, different skies
Same old songs in new replies
We’re just trying to stay alive
While the world keeps rushing by
Yeah, the days blur, the nights fly by
But there’s a spark I won’t let lose
Same streets, different skies
Still chasing something true

Outro
Streetlights flicker like they know my name
Tomorrow’s coming, but tonight’s the same
Same streets…
Different skies…
