Streetlights

We were eighteen, I would sneak out You'd tell your dad you were staying at a friend's house My ripped jeans, your button down Tangled up, we were young, trying to figure it out Hands touch, lips brush Heartbeat, head rush They can't know that we're more than friends But I know just as soon as the sun sets There you are under the streetlights I can't believe the way you shine Take my hand, open up my eyes Bring me to life for the first time Staring up at stars, staying up all night You're the love I thought I'd never find I could spend my whole life With you, under the streetlights But then you let go, said it was too real Got sick of hiding from your dad cause he can't deal You found a new crowd but kept your lips sealed Can't pretend we were friends, can't forget how it feels Hands touch, lips brush Heartbeat, head rush Now you've been gone such a long, long time But somehow in the back of my mind There you are under the streetlights I still see the way you shine Took my hand, opened up my eyes We felt alive for the first time Staring up at stars, staying up all night You're the love I thought I'd never find I could've spent my whole life With you, under the streetlights Sometimes when it's late, I just can't fall asleep I'll drive by our spot at the end of your street Where the pavement is worn I can still feel the heat Of you pulling me close Of your breath on my cheek But now the night is so cold Without your arms around me I don't know where you are But this is where you should be I wish that sun never rose I play those lights on repeat Every time my eyes close You're waiting for me There you are, under the streetlights I still see the way you shine Took my hand, opened up my eyes We felt alive for the first time Staring up at stars, staying up all night You're the love I thought I'd never find I could have spent my whole life With you, under the streetlights There you are, under the streetlights I still see the way you shine Took my hand, opened up my eyes We felt alive for the first time Staring up at the stars, staying up all night You're the love I thought I'd never find I could have spent my whole life With you, under the streetlights
