Lyrics
Hey Lena, it's just past two by the River Street light.
The air's so thick it tastes like pluff mud tonight.
Sorry, I'm rambling, but I was thinking 'bout the sound
Of that broken GE fan when we were barely off the ground.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I got this call from Baltimore, a real firm, a clean design
And I saw the scaffolding go up, a brand new skyline...
[Chorus]
But that rattling fan on Ann Street
Was the only drum we needed for our heartbeat.
[Verse 2]

Was the only drum we needed for our heartbeat.
[Bridge]
Is a blueprint just a promise? Or is it a ghost?
'Cause this whole damn city feels like the thing I love the most... after you.
[Outro]
(sound of phone static, a soft sigh)
Anyway. Call me when you get this.
