When the streetlights come on
|
the pooling night is leveed aside
|
and pressed in twilight 'gainst out two rooms.
|
I'll see you tonight.
|
The pavement is aching, cicadas are crying,
|
the wine-colored air breathing thoughts through your hair
|
breezing to me, leading me there...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I come alive as the shadows parade
|
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves
|
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.
|
|
And I find you, twilit beyond all the cars.
|
In driveways the sleep but streetlights will keep watch over me.
|
They flicker like stars.
|
And now the secrets carefully kept inside, run the streets red
|
our chemicals spread, washing us through, making you mine...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I come alive as the shadows parade
|
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves
|
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.
|
|
Now there are no words, only the glow in our wires.
|
And so we will be, you turn slow to me
|
Our lips set the sun (I'll never leave you...)
|
the hills are on fire... oh...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I come alive as the shadows parade
|
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves
|
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.
