Streetlight Quiet 2

Verse 1

Chestnut trees let their leaves drop slow like a ball in time

Fading light cuts across the wall and I climb

Bare feet on the steps where the porch swings creak

A shadow stretches from the lamp on my cheek

Windows turn amber like honey left to cool

The whole street breathes one sigh and nobody's fool

I find a spot where the sound just dissolves

Every footstep quiet till it reaches me twice

Pre-Chorus

Let go of what you're holding, don't chase tomorrow's line

Just breathe through this gold light and let your shoulders unwind

Nothing else in the way when sun meets concrete

You are where you land and that is just enough

Chorus

Streetlight quiet, hold it tight

This half-lit hour becomes a warm good night

Every step I take lands soft on stone

Where streetlights forget to shine alone

I lose myself in this fading day

I find my way back through the gray

Hold still, breathe slow and let go

Streetlight quiet, that's how I know

Verse 2

Washed-out graffiti where kids used to play

The smell of salt rising off the pavement grey

No clocks in sight when stars come out to claim

Just my pulse and the hum from a distant train

Windows full of light, empty rooms inside

Shadows stretch long and nobody asks me why

I let go of all the things I've been holding tight

Every step becomes a gentle, slow delight

Pre-Chorus

Let go of what you're holding, don't chase tomorrow's line

Just breathe through this gold light and let your shoulders unwind

Nothing else in the way when sun meets concrete

You are where you land and that is just enough

Chorus

Streetlight quiet, hold it tight

This half-lit hour becomes a warm good night

Every step I take lands soft on stone

Where streetlights forget to shine alone

I lose myself in this fading day

I find my way back through the gray

Hold still, breathe slow and let go

Streetlight quiet, that's how I know

Bridge

Maybe peace isn't a place, it's just an absence of sound

Maybe I already have what everyone wants to be found

No names to give to this feeling in my chest

Just a warm light spreading through the rest

Nothing moving, nothing loud, just me and gold

I let go of everything that never was mine to hold

Chorus

Streetlight quiet, hold it tight

This half-lit hour becomes a warm good night

Every step I take lands soft on stone

Where streetlights forget to shine alone

I lose myself in this fading day

I find my way back through the gray

Hold still, breathe slow and let go

Streetlight quiet, that's how I know
