Lights Stay On (версия 3)

Verse

Diner sign is blinking out my name

Neon bleeding into the rain

Sneakers dragging on the sidewalk hum

Sixteen and I'm still the only one

Radio's tuned to a station gone quiet

Streetlights stutter like a fading light

I'm counting every window that glows soft

Tonight feels bigger than it ought to

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call this feeling in our bones

This hush before the whole thing goes home

Say goodnight to something but keep moving on

This is where the day turns into becoming

Chorus

Lights stay on for a little while longer

Holding onto the yellow, silver, orange singer

It's not goodbye when the sky still glows

We're chasing down the last of what we know

Verse

Firefly sparkers lighting up a parking lot

Sneakers slapping out a rhythm in my head

Gas station sign spelling out my name slow

Every block is a mile to nowhere, but I'm going anyway

Cigarette smoke curling like it's saying something

Somebody's window has the TV on tonight

I don't know what tomorrow looks like
