Streetlights

If I leave a trace
It will stay right here
In between these walls

A tight-fisted embrace
To show that you're right here
But that I'm enthralled

And if I go away
You know it won't be to stay
I'll come back
To what I know

Those winding roads and old pine trees
Smell the comfort
I'm headed home
Up the long driveway, just kissed by rain
I'll step inside
But I'm not warm

Maybe it's the streetlights
Crushing me
They grow on this road that I have lived upon
All these years I've never just gone crazy
In this place
Till you came around it only took one day
Well, you showed me all the things I could have been
All the things I should have been

So what hangs in the air
Seeps into my clothes
So it always looms

No, it's not quite despair
It's a lingering
Of what never bloomed

Cuz when I went away
You know it wasn't to stay
I came back
To what I know

Those winding roads and old pine trees
Smell the comfort
I'm headed home
Up the long driveway, just kissed by rain
I'll step inside
But I'm not warm

Maybe it's the streetlights
Crushing me
They grow on this road that I have lived upon
All these years I've never just gone crazy
In this place
Till you came around it only took one day
Well, you showed me all the things I could have been
All the things I should have been

Is it too late now
Tell me that it's not too late now
I think I'll be here a while
