Streetlights Know My Name – Nora & the Static

Verse

Chairs still stacked on the café floor

Dust in the light through the propped-open door

Espresso hiss, then the room goes still

Five a.m. and the frost on the sill

Pre-Chorus

Nobody's up but the pigeons and me

Breath turns to smoke, so quiet, so clean

Chorus

Streetlights know my name

Been here every dawn, they know my shape

Amber glow on the empty lane

Streetlights know my name

Verse

Same cracked booth by the window pane

Sugar packet folded, half your name

Bakery smell drifting out from next door

Flour dust settling soft on the floor

Pre-Chorus

Nobody's up but the pigeons and me

Breath turns to smoke, so quiet, so clean

Chorus

Streetlights know my name

Been here every dawn, they know my shape

Amber glow on the empty lane

Streetlights know my name

Bridge

Mm— the sky's turning milk and grey

Mm— one bus sighs and pulls away

No one to wave to, no one to lose

Just me and the hush and the cooling brew

Chorus

Streetlights know my name

Been here every dawn, they know my shape

Amber glow on the empty lane

Streetlights know my name
