[Verse 1]
It’s like an ocean upside down
When the sky gets heavy
And I’m drownin’ in the blackest blue
That’s when we meet up
And sit cross-legged on the levee
To feel the spirits passin’ through
[Pre-Chorus]
From you to me is as far as I can see
The rest is pitch black
Just enough to see that I’ve been such a fool
In all my lookin’ back
Just enough to take the breath that makes the time
Stop
And let healin’ begin
[Refrain]
On the nights when the fog rolls in
[Verse 2]
I hear sirens, voices in the distance
I’d walk for miles
But there ain’t nothin’ to see
High time that we rely on other senses
That’s when I feel you closest to me
[Chorus]
The city sleeps and the river wraps
Herself a shroud around it
Quiet as a thief who leaves everything
Right where she found it
Screen door doesn’t creak
Threadbare ain't enough
She just floats back out, again
[Refrain]
On the nights when the fog rolls in
[Bridge]
There was so much more
I’d hoped to show you
Just as sure she’s gone
Oh, I know she’ll be back, again
[Refrain]
On the nights when the fog rolls in
[Outro]
It’s like an ocean upside down when the sky gets heavy
