Lights Down the Avenue

Verse

Gold coat, cold night, you strut through the snow like it's July

Popcorn string lights catch the shine in your eye

You bump my shoulder by the cocoa stand

Say you're cold, then you don't let go of my hand

Every window's got a tree lit up gold

Every breath we take turns to smoke in the cold

Pre-Chorus

So what's a girl to do

When the whole block's glowing just for you

My heart's doing ninety in the snow

Can you feel it, do you know

Chorus

I'm falling like the lights down the avenue

String by string, I'm coming undone for you

Bells on the wind, snow on my tongue

Steady, then gone, that's how it's done

Falling like the lights down the avenue

Verse

Third night now, you're walking me home

Past the corner tree all wrapped in chrome

You steal my scarf, say red's your color too

Diner window, we split a plate for two

Your laugh's louder than the carolers' song

I don't wanna get where I'm going, walk slow, walk long

Pre-Chorus

So what's a girl to do

When the whole block's glowing just for you

My heart's doing ninety in the snow

Can you feel it, do you know

Chorus

I'm falling like the lights down the avenue

String by string, I'm coming undone for you

Bells on the wind, snow on my tongue

Steady, then gone, that's how it's done

Falling like the lights down the avenue

Bridge

Maybe it's the season, maybe it's just you

Either way I'm dizzy, either way it's true

No mistletoe required, no clock to watch tonight

Just your hand in mine under all this light

Chorus

I'm falling like the lights down the avenue

String by string, I'm coming undone for you

Bells on the wind, snow on my tongue

Steady, then gone, that's how it's done

Falling like the lights down the avenue

Falling for you
