[Verse 1: Ekoh]
I thought I’d be happy by now, and everyone thinks that
I ain’t looked back in a while, starting to think that
I’m always going to need an angel to chase
‘Cause I’ve slept with devils so the demons are safe
Yeah, it’s been a minute since I’ve felt home or runaway
Run the distance when we're connected with these cell phones
I’ll set up shop inside your heart until we get too close
And then I’m out before it falls apart
My love is going south now even the city, I'm heading southbound
And hiding all these falls 'till I'm able to figure out how
Like how come when we're close, you feel so distant? (feel so distant)
And how come I still feel like something's missing? (something’s missing)
They say this bottle leads to something
I’m hoping that this oblivion will keep you and my problems out of focus
It’s not that I don’t love you, I think that I do
And one day I’ll be back when I love me too
It’s all gone (gone, gone, gone)
[Chorus: Josh Rabenold]
And when you come home, no one will be waiting for you
So long, you’ve been away, and when your sun goes down
I know you’ll be looking for the street lights (street lights)
[Verse 2: Ekoh]
Yeah, see I come with baggage but never really unpack it, running
I’ll trade your heart for a couple months on your mattress
Girl it's not you, it’s me, see, I can barely breathe
Just suffocated by the thought of possibility, yeah
But I never tried to break hearts or stay away this long
She said “If you don’t come back, you’ll never make it home”
That may be true but this is life on chance
And I’ll find love when I find where I’m at
So I said, "Fuck the social media and status quo"
I found myself lost travelling to I don’t know
And I write these poems for the sake of my heart that's attached
I’ll leave it with you, that’s a piece of me I won’t get back (back)
See, back home is where the feelings roam
Got old posters on the ceiling that I used to know
A whole lot of time spent trying to find my voice
But growing up ain’t so easy when you're surrounded with this noise (noise)
[Chorus: Josh Rabenold]
And when you come home, no one will be waiting for you
So long, you’ve been away, and when your sun goes down
I know you’ll be looking for the street lights
I know you’ll be looking for the street lights
The street lights
The street lights
[Verse 3: Ekoh]
His reliance upon people began to run thin
Where most people place their security in humans
He found the only place he really felt safe was on the road
Only staying somewhere long enough to find a reason to leave it
He always knew that his heart stayed back at that starting point
But didn't know how long it would take to return (return)
We spend our lives searching for something that we're never going to find
Until we realize we had it with us all along
[Chorus: Josh Rabenold]
And when you come home, no one will be waiting for you
So long, you’ve been away, and when your sun goes down
I know you’ll be looking for the street lights
I know you’ll be looking for the street lights
The street lights
The street lights
The street lights
