Street Lights

[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
