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

(chorus:)
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

(chorus)

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

(chorus 2x)
