Streetlight Keeps Its Shape (version 2)

Verse

Rain on the window like a second skin

Steam off my coffee where the cup just sat in

The streetlight flickers but it keeps its shape

Three minutes long and that's enough to keep

Your scarf still hanging from the hook by the door

I left it there when I walked out the door

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I don't need the why this time

Maybe just drifting through is fine

The rain slows down where the sidewalk ends

Nothing here is ever going to mend

Chorus

Let it rain, let it fade

I'm not catching anything today

Just the sound and then the quiet

Streetlight keeps its shape tonight

Verse

Taxi idling three blocks down the street

Fog light cutting through my jacket's seam

I used to carry every goodbye like weight

Now I just watch it slip beneath the grate

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I don't need the why this time

Maybe just drifting through is fine

The rain slows down where the sidewalk ends

Nothing here is ever going to mend

Chorus

Let it rain, let it fade

I'm not catching anything today

Just the sound and then the quiet

Streetlight keeps its shape tonight

Bridge

Someday I'll fold up all these days

Put them in a drawer and walk away

But right now the water's warm as glass

And nothing's pulling me back to this place

Chorus

Let it rain, let it fade

I'm not catching anything today

Just the sound and then the quiet

Streetlight keeps its shape tonight
