Verse
Yellow light comes swinging down the block again
Dancing shadows on the wall where we sat
Faded scent of cologne on your worn denim
Every step I take pulls me back to that
Barefoot in the rain and your hands on my waist
One more year gone, still you hold this place
Pre-Chorus
Can you hear it calling us back home?
Through all the noise and every lost tone
Is it just a hum or is it our own heartbeat?
Pulse of the streetlamp humming soft tonight
Streetlamp humming soft tonight
Chorus
Streetlamp humming soft, pulling us in closer
Where the shadows learn to love again, I see your face
We used to stay till the lights went black and white
Streetlamp humming soft, it's holding on tonight
Hold it against my chest like a heartbeat
I'll never let this memory go cold
Verse
Crows perched in the telephone wire above
Watching us laugh as if we'd just begun love
Your fingers lace through mine beneath the grate
City sounds fade out and time stands still for us
Sun rises over concrete, painting gold on your face
One more chance to turn back the hours, stay in this place
Pre-Chorus
Can you hear it calling us back home?
Through all the noise and every lost tone
Is it just a hum or is it our own heartbeat?
Pulse of the streetlamp humming soft tonight
Streetlamp humming soft tonight
Chorus
Streetlamp humming soft, pulling us in closer
Where the shadows learn to love again, I see your face
We used to stay till the lights went black and white
Streetlamp humming soft, it's holding on tonight
Hold it against my chest like a heartbeat
I'll never let this memory go cold
Bridge
Maybe we don't need tomorrow anymore
Maybe time runs backwards through the open door
Let me hold this light and just pretend
For one more minute, our hearts still ascend
Chorus
Streetlamp humming soft, pulling us in closer
Where the shadows learn to love again, I see your face
We used to stay till the lights went black and white
Streetlamp humming soft, it's holding on tonight
Hold it against my chest like a heartbeat
I'll never let this memory go cold
