Concrete

I see the arrows and the red lights,
The night is getting tender inbetween.
Deep in the concrete, in the alleys,
The water washed away where we had been.
I hear the city, and the freeway,
The fall of rain on footsteps in the cold,
I trade down a gear to bring you near,
And I wish that we could always break the mould.

And when darkness falls,
I swear that's right where we start to go wrong.

And just like lightning,
I wanna catch you in your stride,
So when you bring the thunder,
You let it ring all through the night,
And it feels so crazy,
That your thoughts are mine,
'Cause just like lightning,
You bring me right back to life.

I see the sparrow in the moonlight,
Moving through the wind so let's pretend,
A thin leaf on concrete, like a rocket,
The ones lost in the street find homes again.
You whisper a secret in my ear,
You found a place to hide your memories,
And I can't believe it, and I mean it,
It's a thought that could survive the centuries.

And when darkness falls,
I swear that's right where we start to go wrong.

And just like lightning,
I wanna catch you in your stride,
So when you bring the thunder,
You let it ring all through the night,
And it feels so crazy,
That your thoughts are mine,
'Cause just like lightning,
You bring me right back to life.

At once, all at once,
Dreaming of a shot to get around,
The dread and the fears,
Of everything that drags you down.
But again, I still wish,
That we could always find a way,
My last wish, to co-exist,
Side by side in brighter days.

It's like lightning, you're the lightning,
The thunder all through the night,
And it's crazy,
It's crazy, crazy,
You bring me right back to life.

And just like lightning,
I wanna catch you in your stride,
So when you bring the thunder,
You let it ring all through the night,
And it feels so crazy,
That your thoughts are mine,
'Cause just like lightning,
You bring me right back to life.
