I'll Stay Here in the Yellow Light

Intro

Your smile in the rain

Where were you running to

Verse 1

Grey sky above us, water on your cheek

You say goodnight without looking back at me

Cigarette smoke curls out of your collarbone

I hold the umbrella where your hand used to be

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why you're leaving

Every streetlamp burning bright and yellow

Can't you feel it? The air still humming with our breath

Why do I stay here watching the sky turn grey

Chorus

I'll stay here in the yellow light

Where we said goodbye, where the rain will stop tonight

I'll stay right here, waiting for your footsteps

In this empty silence, my heart keeps on counting

Verse 2

Your scarf still hung from the bike rack last week

I go back to the café where our hands touched once

Coffee in a plastic cup, sugar stuck between us

You said you'd come back but I haven't seen you since

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why you're leaving

Every streetlamp burning bright and yellow

Can't you feel it? The air still humming with our breath

Why do I stay here watching the sky turn grey

Chorus

I'll stay here in the yellow light

Where we said goodbye, where the rain will stop tonight

I'll stay right here, waiting for your footsteps

In this empty silence, my heart keeps on counting

Bridge

Maybe you forgot me, maybe I was never more than a friend

But every night when rain starts falling again

Something inside me whispers, 'Come back to the corner where we met

And I stay right here with open arms and no regrets

Chorus

I'll stay here in the yellow light

Where we said goodbye, where the rain will stop tonight

I'll stay right here, waiting for your footsteps

In this empty silence, my heart keeps on counting
