Verse
Lamp post drips its amber down
Catches the curve of your shoulder blade
Ten steps of dark, then the glow again
Skin keeps score of the light and shade
Your breath goes silver in the cold
My palm finds warmth where the sodium falls
Every pool of light we cross
Slows the pulse and stalls the clock
Pre-Chorus
We stall between the lit and the black
We trade the heat, we don't look back
Ten more steps till the next lamp glows
We stretch the walk, we take it slow
Chorus
Skin drinks streetlight
Skin drinks streetlight
Hour stalls where the two lights meet
Skin drinks streetlight
Verse 2
Collarbone holds a coin of gold
Fingers trace where the color spills
Your jacket sleeve brushed against mine
Static warm on a cooling street
Fog comes soft off the both of us
Halo bends where our shadows touch
Every pool of light we share
Feels like standing still in the air
Pre-Chorus
We stall between the lit and the black
We trade the heat, we don't look back
Ten more steps till the next lamp glows
We stretch the walk, we take it slow
Chorus
Skin drinks streetlight
Skin drinks streetlight
Hour stalls where the two lights meet
Skin drinks streetlight
Bridge
Sky starts bruising at the edge
Amber fading into gray
Your hand stays warm inside of mine
We keep walking anyway
Last lamp flickers, then goes soft
Dawn comes closer, breath by breath
Still the heat stays on my skin
Long after the light has left
Chorus
Skin drinks streetlight
Skin drinks streetlight
Hour stalls where the two lights meet
Skin drinks streetlight
