All Those Pretty Lights lyrics

the wind blows through your hair

as you’re walking people stare

up the block

and down the street

to north kings highway

and there’s a beating in my

chest

and it’s seeming to suggest

that before this day is through

it might

go my way

so i sit back in my seat

i scribble down something that’s

sweet

about a boy, a girl

and endless stretch of scenery

cause it’s like

falling to your knees

before a stranger on the street

i did it just the other

day

you should have seen me

oh and i wanna remember this night

and how my

words never

came out right

it’s just my patience that keeps

me alive

just

like all those pretty lights

just like all those pretty lights

in the

sky

there’s something to be said

about the colors in your head

and how

they mix to form

the perfect shade of sadness

not because of things i’ve

done

or any of the songs i’ve sung

it’s just the story of our lives

we wish

we had this

and i remember we stayed up

way past you’re bedtime

up on the

2nd floor

down by my sliding door

just innocent kids

in a victimless

crime

trapped in a metaphor

hoping for something more
