Streetlight Serenade 8

Verse

Window down, engine low

Six a.m., the street's in gold

Empty coffee cup and keys

Sunrise catching what the streetlight used to see

Phone still humming where your voice was yesterday

Radio static turning into melody

I don't know this kind of hope I feel tonight

It's got nothing left but headlights, nothing wrong

Pre-Chorus

So how do you keep it from turning cold

How do you hold onto a feeling so bold

Chorus

Streetlight serenade me into gold

Singing every goodbye till the morning told

I used to be ashamed of tears I couldn't hide

Now I'm dancing on this borrowed tide

Sunrise calling, I don't wanna hide it now

This is what freedom feels like, somehow

Verse 2

Gas station coffee, same old tune

Different town this time, but it's mine too

Somebody's laughing down at the lake

My shadow's moving in a rhythm of its own today

Every mile gets smaller, every fear gets thin

The ache is turning into something real again

No more waiting for permission to begin

I got my own sunrise now, I know what it means

Pre-Chorus

So how do you keep it from turning cold

How do you hold onto a feeling so bold

Chorus

Streetlight serenade me into gold

Singing every goodbye till the morning told

I used to be ashamed of tears I couldn't hide

Now I'm dancing on this borrowed tide

Sunrise calling, I don't wanna hide it now

This is what freedom feels like, somehow

Bridge

Maybe letting go wasn't giving up at all

Maybe it was building for something so tall

Every goodbye's a doorway to somewhere new

And the city lights are still singing with me too

Chorus

Streetlight serenade me into gold

Singing every goodbye till the morning told

I used to be ashamed of tears I couldn't hide

Now I'm dancing on this borrowed tide

Sunrise calling, I don't wanna hide it now

This is what freedom feels like, somehow
