lyrics

Summer’s sleeping in my car
As I lean back to stare
Take a glance at what my sunroof offers

So close
A tinted version of the night sky
Spheres of light
Piercing through a blanket of obstacles

Sky Canvas
We can paint the night
In the broad daylight
Paint the city black

Smoking clouds, a reaching branch
And a slight haze of light
From the small metropolis below
A mesh of sight layered like a painting
The ceiling window framing it
Wish I could cover up the street lights

So close
A tinted version of the night sky
Sphere of light
Making up the largest of obstacles

Sky Canvas
We can paint the night
In the broad daylight
Sky canvas
We can dress the sky

Summer’s sleeping in my car
As I lean back to stare
Take a glance at what my sunroof offers

Sky Canvas
We can paint the night
In the broad daylight
Sky canvas
We can dress the sky
In a dark twilight
Paint the city black
(Sky canvas)
