Where the Lights Don't Sleep

Verse

Copper dust rising off the market square

Twelve bells ringing through the evening air

Grandma's bracelets on a market stand

A stranger's rhythm pulls me by the hand

Paper lanterns swinging string to string

The old accordion starts to sing

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the pavement humming underneath

Like the whole town forgot how to breathe

So what are we waiting for

Chorus

We're running where the lights don't sleep

Barefoot on the cobblestone street

Every window wide open, every heart unlocked

Twirling till the church clock stops

We're free tonight, we're free tonight

Where the lights don't sleep

Verse

Uncle's trumpet bleeding into the square

Someone's grandmother still has her hair up in flowers there

Neon signs above the tailor's door

Buzzing like they've done this dance before

Kids on shoulders counting shooting stars

Nobody's checking clocks or cars

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the pavement humming underneath

Like the whole town forgot how to breathe

So what are we waiting for

Chorus

We're running where the lights don't sleep

Barefoot on the cobblestone street

Every window wide open, every heart unlocked

Twirling till the church clock stops

We're free tonight, we're free tonight

Where the lights don't sleep

Bridge

Someday we'll be old and gray

Telling this to kids who weren't born yet

Say we danced until the break of day

Say we never once looked back with regret

This is the one we'll always keep

Chorus

We're running where the lights don't sleep

Barefoot on the cobblestone street

Every window wide open, every heart unlocked

Twirling till the church clock stops

We're free tonight, we're free tonight

Where the lights don't sleep

Where the lights don't sleep
