{sub-bass filter sweep, sparse rimshot} Yeah,
yeah Street lamps flickering on the block
We were just trying to beat the clock
Corner store meeting, hiding
from the rain
Two different worlds but we felt the same pain
You had your guard up,
looking at the street But I saw the softness when our eyes
would meet (hmm-mmm)
They said we wouldn't make it past July
But they don't see the fire in your eyes
{snare drum roll building,
bass filtering in} This is our concrete rose,
growing through the cracks
Holding onto hope, never looking back
They can build the walls,
they can lock the gate
But they can't stop our love,
they can't change our fate (no-oh-oh) {soaring synth lead,
heavy 808
kick} Late night
on the fire escape,
sharing dreams of flight
Watching sirens painting patterns in the night
Hand in hand we walk through
the crowded avenue
Nothing in this broken town matters without you (yeah-eah)
Even when the
storm is
raging on our block
We are built on stone,
we are built on rock They
can't break us down,
no
{instrumental break, soulful electric guitar solo} This is our concrete rose,
growing through the cracks
Holding onto hope, never looking back
They can build the walls,
they can lock the gate
But they can't stop our love,
they can't change our fate
{heavy 808 kick, fading out
synths} Concrete
rose... Yeah, growing through the cracks (mmm-mmm) {vocal fading into vinyl crackle,
sub-bass dying out}
