Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Streetlights blur to morning haze, Shibuya's waking slow
But this sofa's an anchor, whispering 'don't go'
See the train lines from my window, a steel snake on the move
My own internal wiring just wants to stay in this soft groove

[Chorus]
Sunday's gridlock in my head, a comfy, soft delay
Tomorrow's on the skyline, but I'm powered down today
Yeah, the city's building up, a future I can't chase
From this pillow scaffolding, finding my own pace

[Verse 2]
Reflections in my coffee cup, a blurry, quiet scene
While outside, the neon pulses, a restless, vibrant sheen
Another message on the data stream, a thousand flashing 'go'
But my own internal compass just wants to take it slow

[Chorus]
Sunday's gridlock in my head, a comfy, soft delay
Tomorrow's on the skyline, but I'm powered down today
Yeah, the city's building up, a future I can't chase
From this pillow scaffolding, finding my own pace

[Bridge]
Soon I'll brave the concrete maze, reconnect the lines
But for now, this quiet hum, a peace my spirit finds
Just one more breath before the race, before the engines burn
Learning how to pause the clock, a lesson I can learn

[Chorus]
Sunday's gridlock in my head, a comfy, soft delay
Tomorrow's on the skyline, but I'm powered down today
Yeah, the city's building up, a future I can't chase
From this pillow scaffolding, finding my own pace

[Outro]
Yeah, the city's calling, but the signal's weak and low
Still here on the soft gridlock, letting the good times slow
