Streetlights Keep on Humming (версия 2)

Verse

Barefoot at six a.m. on a cracked concrete porch

Screen door slamming behind me like it's trying to keep up more

Radio static fading into the hush of birds taking flight

Nothing in my pocket but the keys from my father's old truck light

Your window across the alley flickers bright blue then gold

I'm waiting for a signal I already know, so why do I feel this way at all?

Pre-Chorus

Is it the summer or is it you I'm running to

Either way the clock keeps ticking like it's saying come on through

Every porch light down this block is turning up tonight

Something's coming and my chest already knows it's right

Chorus

Streetlights keep on humming while we're standing here in white

Watching everything that summer promised turn into something real

I don't need a reason, I just need your hand to take mine

Half the whole block is whispering our name tonight

Verse

Fireflies like tiny little lanterns leading me down

The road past Wilson's farm where we snuck in back in May

You're spinning on the porch swing and laughing like it's a dare

Saying let's just stay right here until they turn the TV on, I swear

I'm collecting every second like it's gasoline for gold

Half of nothing feels like more than the whole world I owned

Pre-Chorus

Is it the summer or is it you I'm running to

Either way the clock keeps ticking like it's saying come on through

Every porch light down this block is turning up tonight

Something's coming and my chest already knows it's right

Chorus

Streetlights keep on humming while we're standing here in white

Watching everything that summer promised turn into something real

I don't need a reason, I just need your hand to take mine

Half the whole block is whispering our name tonight

Bridge

Maybe this was never about forever, maybe it's just the now

The fireflies won't wait for morning, so why should we?

We could stay right here and never know what might've been

Or we could take a breath and make this moment everything

I'm choosing the gold light over waiting to be saved

Chorus

Streetlights keep on humming while we're standing here in white

Watching everything that summer promised turn into something real

I don't need a reason, I just need your hand to take mine

Half the whole block is whispering our name tonight
