Streetlights Singing Gold (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete holds the heat of every night

Rooftop skyline painted gold and white

Bassline bled into my bones tonight

Feet on the fire escape where the light won't end

We used to chase the day for a glimpse of sky

Now we own it, let our shadows fly

Every window down the block is ours tonight

Nobody's waiting, nobody's afraid

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through your veins?

Tell me why we settled for anything less than this

This is the ground that gave us wings to gain

Say goodbye to small now, say hello to gold

Chorus

Streetlights singing gold, burning bright tonight

Every brick a promise, every fire alive

Hands up in the amber where our shadows play

We're stealing light from the day and we won't apologize for it today

Verse

Empty lot glowing like an open door

Neon bleeding into something more

Sixteen years of holding back this roar

Tonight the whole block says we wanted more

I used to hide behind a borrowed name

Now I'm standing tall in the same old frame

Every scar's a spark that this fire claimed

Nobody's gonna dim what we're calling flame

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through your veins?

Tell me why we settled for anything less than this

This is the ground that gave us wings to gain

Say goodbye to small now, say hello to gold

Chorus

Streetlights singing gold, burning bright tonight

Every brick a promise, every fire alive

Hands up in the amber where our shadows play

We're stealing light from the day and we won't apologize for it today

Bridge

Hold your arms wide like you own the sky

Watch this whole town catch the spark in your eye

No more counting hours until sunrise lies

Tonight we take what nobody gave us, anyway

Chorus

Streetlights singing gold, burning bright tonight

Every brick a promise, every fire alive

Hands up in the amber where our shadows play

We're stealing light from the day and we won't apologize for it today
