Meet Me Under the Lights

Verse

Suitcase by the doorway, snow on your shoulder

Last call for the six o'clock train

Paper cups still steaming, streets a little colder

Your scarf leaves a thread on my coat, like a stain

Pre-Chorus

So how do we say it

When the clock's already ringing

Is this really goodbye

Or the start of something

Chorus

Meet me under the lights

Where the tinsel turns to gold

Same corner, same time

Next December, we'll grow old

Every string of white bulbs

Is a promise we still hold

So meet me under the lights

When the world turns cold

Verse

You're leaving your mittens, say you'll be back for them

Half a candy cane wrapped in your palm

I'll keep the porch lamp on till the frost gives in

Counting days on a calendar, staying calm

Pre-Chorus

So how do we say it

When the clock's already ringing

Is this really goodbye

Or the start of something

Chorus

Meet me under the lights

Where the tinsel turns to gold

Same corner, same time

Next December, we'll grow old

Every string of white bulbs

Is a promise we still hold

So meet me under the lights

When the world turns cold

Bridge

Maybe it's not an ending

Just a long way home

Every mile of silence

Turns into a song

And when the train pulls forward

I'll be waving, not alone

'Cause the brightest lights don't flicker

They just wait for you to come

Chorus

Meet me under the lights

Where the tinsel turns to gold

Same corner, same time

Next December, we'll grow old

Every string of white bulbs

Is a promise we still hold

So meet me under the lights

When the world turns cold

Meet me under the lights
