Glass and the Sleeping Street
Style: Cinematic strings

[Verse 1]
Water runs slow down the glass
Nobody else is still awake
I keep this hour like it's mine
Just for you, for both our sake

[Pre-chorus]
The street below forgets to breathe
I trace your name against the pane
Something in me won't let this leave

[Chorus]
Betty, the whole world's gone quiet
Only you keep the light on in me
Steady when everything's shaking
Betty, this is where I want to be

[Verse 2]
You sleep like nothing could touch you
I sit and watch the glass run clear
Every line the water finds
Feels like a reason to stay near

[Bridge]
No grand thing, no borrowed line
Just you breathing next to me
This is the whole of what I mean

[Chorus]
Betty, the whole world's gone quiet
Only you keep the light on in me
Steady when everything's shaking
Betty, this is where I want to be

[Outro]
The glass will dry by morning light
But I already know I'm yours
