Streetlights, oh, they wake up slowly
and I must have been walking for miles
I've thought it all over; this all needs to be let go.
Embers still glow over pictures
and letters of congratulations.
And as time finds you far from this place,
Just swear to God you'll write,
I won't ask for more.
We should have seen this coming.
What are you waiting for?
Will you be waiting forever, love?
What are you waiting for?
I can't wait forever.
Midnight: Anywhere but home is where I hide
I can stand the cold, but not goodbye
And there's nothing I could say
that would make any difference now.
The dark road, the pavement drowned in a pale glow
The shadows are infinitely empty.
I thought there was so much more to this place.
I swear to God I'll write,
But don't ask for more
Streetlights can sense the dark as the sun sets,
but I won't be shining as long as you're so far from this place
I swear to God I'll write but don't ask for more!
What are you waiting for?
I can't wait forever.
