in this city
we’ve made out of dark
we’re gonna be somebody
like the supermodels
you cut out and taped
to your wall tell your mom it’s aspiration
we roam the streets
smiling to the cold
our hands not touching
but they find the back pockets
of each others jeans
to turn our hearts on boy
we are the night
no one knows that we’ve swallowed the light
in this city
we’ve made out of dark
we keep our lips shut tight
love is enough
if we keep it close
if we can just keep it to ourselves boy
the river prowls
through everyone we know
breathes the chill of alone into our bones
but huddled in a subway car
at the end of the line
we become some new and tiny home boy
we are the night
no one knows that we’ve swallowed the light
