Streetlights

Found the courage, run away from home

Hit the open road like a rollin' stone

On your radio

All those buildings, tall like leaves they grow

Lights in offices, on and off they go

Everyone's alone

The city swallowed you like a sleeping pill

Wonder if you thought about me still

So I came to see you, we played in broken streets

Every sidewalk held a mystery

We held the keys

When it started raining, we ran like trains till we

Found the bus stop that I held you underneath

Till you fell asleep

Street lights lit you up like a cigarette

Kind of glow that a man don't wanna quit

As the sun raised, fought the rain away

We hid in your room under cotton caves

Oh, we slept the whole damn day

We both knew why, had to leave that night

Shooting stars fell from your moonlight eye

As you say goodbye

Highway was as empty as my heart

Skylight slipped away into the dark

This old town it cries for you, my dear

Streetlights ain't as bright without you here

Whoo!
