Sometimes I walk till the noise fades out
Let the pavement hear what I won’t say loud
Every face feels like a passing train
Here for a second, gone again
I got a phone full of names I miss
And a heart that don’t know where home is
I keep my head down, count the cracks
Trying not to look back
Pre-Chorus
I been losing sleep just to feel something real
City feels close but I’m distant still
Chorus
Under these streetlights, I feel okay
For a little while, in a quiet way
I talk to myself when I can’t explain
Why being alone feels safer that way
If I keep walking, maybe I’ll find
A place where I don’t have to hide
Until then I’m holding on
To these streetlight prayers till the night is gone
Verse 2
There’s a park bench with my name worn in
By years of waiting and cigarettes
I used to think I had it all planned
Now I’m just doing the best I can
I see reflections in passing cars
Wondering who I really am
I smile at strangers, they smile back
But nobody asks
Pre-Chorus
I been chasing peace through open streets
Looking for comfort underneath my feet
Chorus
Under these streetlights, I feel okay
For a little while, in a quiet way
I talk to myself when I can’t explain
Why being alone feels safer that way
If I keep walking, maybe I’ll find
A place where I don’t have to hide
Until then I’m holding on
To these streetlight prayers till the night is gone
Bridge (breakdown – very soft)
(Drums drop out, guitar + bass only)
I don’t need answers tonight
Just somewhere I belong
If love’s a voice in the dark
I hope it sings me home
Final Chorus (full band, emotional lift)
Under these streetlights, I feel alive
Even when it hurts, I survive
I been lost, yeah, most my life
But I’m still here, I’m still trying
If I keep walking, maybe I’ll see
That this lonely road made sense for me
Until that day, I’ll carry on
With these streetlight prayers till the night is gone
Outro (choir-style backing vocals)
(Layered “ahhh” / “ooh” harmonies)
Till the night is gone…
Till the night is gone…
(Fade out on guitar)
Let the pavement hear what I won’t say loud
Every face feels like a passing train
Here for a second, gone again
I got a phone full of names I miss
And a heart that don’t know where home is
I keep my head down, count the cracks
Trying not to look back
Pre-Chorus
I been losing sleep just to feel something real
City feels close but I’m distant still
Chorus
Under these streetlights, I feel okay
For a little while, in a quiet way
I talk to myself when I can’t explain
Why being alone feels safer that way
If I keep walking, maybe I’ll find
A place where I don’t have to hide
Until then I’m holding on
To these streetlight prayers till the night is gone
