Hollow Street (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Saffron lights upon the wet pavement bright

Every window frames a different name tonight

Your eyes are half-closed where the smoke curls low

I am the one you called at three and four and five

In every doorway someone else's shadowed life

You laugh so loud in your mother's old coat

I have nothing that will keep us from being caught

Pre-Chorus

Can we leave this place behind without regret?

Is there a map of what we owe to anyone yet?

Chorus

Oh, hollow street, where every light is not the same

Hold my hand and tell me who you're running from tonight

I love you like I lost the language for your name

So let's leave the shadows in the rearview glass

And chase the city out of what we truly had at last

Verse

Pigeons scatter down the alleys, gray as stone

You take my hand and we are walking alone

Your collarbone cuts through the neon glow

Every door we pass could be where someone else is going to go

I know a diner that still serves milkshakes at two

Do you think that's just the kind of place two people like us would do?

Pre-Chorus

Can we leave this place behind without regret?

Is there a map of what we owe to anyone yet?

Chorus

Oh, hollow street, where every light is not the same

Hold my hand and tell me who you're running from tonight

I love you like I lost the language for your name

So let's leave the shadows in the rearview glass

And chase the city out of what we truly had at last

Bridge

Maybe there isn't a name for where we end up tonight

But if there is, then it will shine so bright it'll light our way back home

You look like you're already gone and I don't know if that's right

So let's take this street and turn its shadows into gold

In your eyes, the city doesn't feel so big or wide

It feels like something we can lose together, side by side

Chorus

Oh, hollow street, where every light is not the same

Hold my hand and tell me who you're running from tonight

I love you like I lost the language for your name

So let's leave the shadows in the rearview glass

And chase the city out of what we truly had at last
