Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Porch light halo on the wet front step
Kitchen radio hums a worn-out hymn
Puddles hold the neon from the street
My coat hangs heavy where the night begins
[Pre-Chorus]
When the skyline feels like thinning glass
An ember wakes — remembers how to last
It breathes a little louder in my chest
A gentle tug that pulls me from the rest
[Chorus]
When I imagine the light in the darkness
I feel it
(Backing) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
(Backing) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it — it's here
[Verse 2]
Rain on the taxi, puddles in the hood
A photograph, your laugh beside the stove
Streetlamps measure time in orange goodbyes
I keep a streak of sunlight in my coat
[Pre-Chorus]
Even when the city turns its face away
That small warm flicker finds the words to stay
It settles like a promise on my tongue
A steady tide that brings me back where I belong
[Chorus]
When I imagine the light in the darkness
I feel it
(Backing) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
(Backing) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it — it's here
[Bridge]
I almost left that autumn, packed with borrowed maps
Chased a neon promise down a rain-slick track
You left the porch lamp on — it burned through all my doubt
Two blocks later I turned, the road pulled me back out
Now there's a quiet chair where a laugh used to live
A jar of coins for storms, a note that says "come in"
I learned the cost of leaving where the light remains
So I came home through the drizzle, traced the lines, called your name
[Chorus — Big]
When I imagine the light in the darkness
I feel it
(Backing dense) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
(Backing dense) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it — it's here
(Lead + Backing layered) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it — it's here
[Outro]
(Soft) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it — it's here
(Fading backing) I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it — it's here
(Tag line — whispered)
It's here.
