Whispers on the Boulevard (Version 2)

Verse

Shutters rattle down in threes

Neon buzzing through the trees

Skate wheels hiss on cooling stone

Echo bounces, never gone alone

Awning flaps a lazy beat

Payphone glowing at our feet

You lean close, your voice so low

It slides along the boulevard's glow

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it curve and bend

Every word without an end

Bouncing soft off glass and steel

Tell me if the static's real

Chorus

Whispers on the boulevard

Drifting where the streetlights are

Secrets skating past the stars

Whispers on the boulevard

Verse

Arcade sign spits pink and blue

Half the letters burned right through

We glide past windows, dark and still

Your laugh goes rolling down the hill

Vending glass reflects our shapes

Two blurred shadows, no escape

The city holds its breath tonight

Just to catch our secondhand light

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it curve and bend

Every word without an end

Bouncing soft off glass and steel

Tell me if the static's real

Chorus

Whispers on the boulevard

Drifting where the streetlights are

Secrets skating past the stars

Whispers on the boulevard

Bridge

Every hush becomes a hum

Every hum becomes a drum

The block lights up, then dims to grey

We keep the echo, skate away

Chorus

Whispers on the boulevard

Drifting where the streetlights are

Secrets skating past the stars

Whispers on the boulevard
