[Intro] The city hums the same old tune I catch it drifting past my room A suitcase sitting by the door Like it remembers me before [Verse 1] I took the long way out of here Chasing years that disappeared Different faces, different names But they all start to feel the same And I swore I wouldn’t miss this place But time has a funny way Of pulling every broken line Back to where it first aligned [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m rolling down that familiar road With every mile, I start to know What I was running from was never gone It was just waiting all along [Chorus] I’m back on your streetlight Shining like it used to do Same old night, same sky, same truth I’m still thinking of you Yeah, I’m back on your streetlight And it feels like nothing’s changed But everything I thought I knew Is calling out your name [Verse 2] I see the corner of the café glow Where we used to take it slow Laughing at the world outside Thinking we had endless time Now the chairs are rearranged But somehow it still feels the same Like every echo in the air Still remembers we were there [Pre-Chorus] And I didn’t mean to come back here But something pulled me through the years Like every road I tried to take Was just a circle I had to break [Chorus] I’m back on your streetlight Shining like it used to do Same old night, same sky, same truth I’m still thinking of you Yeah, I’m back on your streetlight And it feels like nothing’s changed But everything I thought I knew Is calling out your name [Bridge] Maybe we don’t need the words we lost Maybe time just pays the cost Of all the things we couldn’t say When we were too afraid So if you’re standing where I left you then Would you let me start again? Not as who I was before But something real, something more [Final Chorus] I’m back on your streetlight And I’m not afraid to stay Same old night, same sky, new day I won’t walk away Yeah, I’m back on your streetlight Let it shine right through my doubt Everything I thought I knew Is coming back around [Outro] The city hums, I hear your name Soft and steady like a flame And for the first time in a while It feels like home when I smile
