Streetlights Remember 5

Verse

Six years of concrete under my feet

Corner store where I used to buy my heat

Bassline hums through the radiator wall

Same old block but everything changed since then

Older version of me would be ashamed now

Said a man ain't meant to lift himself up from nothing

Pre-Chorus

So what's it take to turn around

Learn how to believe in this ground

Nothing but dust where the doubt used to stand

I built myself out of these broken hands

Chorus

Streetlights remember everything I've been through

Every scar got a story, every struggle turned true

I'm still standing on that same corner block tonight

Streetlights remember all the battles that made me alright

Verse

Phone bill paid this month, apartment's mine now

Same four walls but they don't feel like chains no more

Neighborhood moved on since I last looked back

Somebody told me I was chasing shadows, I got proof

Pawnshop counter girl became my ride or die

She the one who kept me from giving up on Friday

Now she holds a baby that's named after my name

Something in me cracked open and ain't locked again

Pre-Chorus

So what's it take to turn around

Learn how to believe in this ground

Nothing but dust where the doubt used to stand

I built myself out of these broken hands

Chorus

Streetlights remember everything I've been through

Every scar got a story, every struggle turned true

I'm still standing on that same corner block tonight

Streetlights remember all the battles that made me alright

Bridge

Maybe this is how you turn an empty street into home

Maybe the only ones who ever truly understand

Are the people who stayed up late enough to see you through it

Not nobody else, just that one light still holding true

Chorus

Streetlights remember everything I've been through

Every scar got a story, every struggle turned true

I'm still standing on that same corner block tonight

Streetlights remember all the battles that made me alright
