The street lights are humming a tune I know
Just walking the path where the shadows go
The bass is still ringing inside of my head
With all of the words that we never quite said
The concrete is cold underneath my feet
The city is quiet, the pulse of the street
Is fading away like a ghost in the dawn
The night is a memory, the magic is gone.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the promises we made in the dark
Are flickering out like a dying spark
But the rhythm remains, it’s a constant sound
Tied to the earth, tied to the ground.
[Chorus]
Street lights and promises, lining the way
Waiting for colors to turn into gray
I’m walking the edge of the world that I know
With nowhere to hurry and nowhere to go
Just street lights and promises, fading from sight
The final echoes of the middle of night.
[Verse 2]
The sky is a shade of a soft, velvet blue
I’m looking for something, I’m looking for you
But the crowd has dispersed, and the club doors are locked
I’m checking the time on the phantom-clock
It’s easy to dream when the music is loud
But harder to stand when you’re lost in the crowd
So I keep on walking, I keep on the pace
Looking for light in a desolate place.
[Bridge]
The night was a fire.
The night was a lie.
But the promise is real.
Yeah, the promise is real.
[Chorus]
Street lights and promises, lining the way
Waiting for colors to turn into gray
I’m walking the edge of the world that I know
With nowhere to hurry and nowhere to go
Just street lights and promises, fading from sight
The final echoes of the middle of night.
[Extended Chorus]
Street lights and promises, fading from sight
The final echoes of the middle of night...
Fading from sight...
Yeah, the middle of the night...
[Spoken Outro]
(Spoken, softly)
Just... street lights. And promises.
Fading out.
Yeah... fading out.
