Street Lights

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 were connected with these cell phones
I’ll set up shop inside your heart until we get too close
And that I’m out before it falls apart
My love is going south now even the city I’m heading southbound
And hiding all these thoughts until I figure out how
Like how come when were so close you feel so distant? (feel so distant)
And how come I still feel like there’s somethings missing? (something's missing)
They say this bottle leads to something
I’m hoping this oblivion will keep 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)
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)
Yeah, I come with baggage but never really, I’m back here 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 breath
Just I’m 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»
This 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 heartless attacks
I’ll leave that with you that’s something 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 times been trying to find my voice
But growing up ain’t so easy when your surrounded by this noise (noise)
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
His reliance upon people began to run thin
Where most people would 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 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 were never going to find
Until we realise we had it with us all along
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
