When the night creeps up
and the street lights come on,
sometimes I'm transported
to your childhood home.
The rain is still falling and there you are walking.
I pull up beside you and there you were
sopping wet
but I still let you in and in ways, you never left.
In times im alone,
I go back to our memories.
and when I look at my phone,
I know you wont be calling.
After all these years
I'm still droning on
about the girl I never really had
yet I still write these songs.
Im still hung up on yesterdays
but its been you all along
but ive got to let you go now
even if I dont know how.
It's just the sound of you that I love
and the way your hand fit in mine
like some magical glove.
I whisper my secrets above
right up to the stars that you say
you don't believe in anymore
If loving you intially wasnt a sin
it for sure is now.

and I don't know how
to go on without you.
I cant help but fall down
try to evaluate the truth.
I decide on solitude and doubt
and you moved on without me.
I think when you heard my voice
its was you then that was doubting.

and there's a new girl in my life now
and shes a renowned artist like you
A Leo Sun and Mercury too
and co star never fails to remind me
that it's similar to you.
but I refuse to hear her voice
even after these 7 months
I refuse to let her in and fall in love.
She's everything I've wanted
cause it's always been you
but her face is like mine
and I can see the shades of blue
in her eyes and then I cry
im stuck at a crossroads
like the one I picked you up at
and im unsure of what to do.

and I dont know how
to go on without you.
I cant help but fall down
try to evaluate the truth.
I decide on solitude and doubt
and you moved on without me.
I think when you heard my voice
its was you then that was doubting.

Im letting you go
and I'd be lying if I said
the key wasn't above the door.
Ive washed up ashore
but I'm sober and bored.
It's like I liked the turbulence and the rush of it all.
Cause when I felt like I was drowning
I thought of all the memories of my surroundings
there's no beach here but we were there
in less ways than most.
I know the reason I left from that place
and moved further from the coast.
Being here with you in those days, felt like home.
I just never told you that
and I was always fleeting
on four wheels of chrome.
I never knew why I was running
and I still dont know to this day
but in the late nights
when the street lights come on
I find myself say

and I dont know how
to go on without you.
I cant help but fall down
try to evaluate the truth.
I decide on solitude and doubt
and you moved on without me.
I think when you heard my voice
its was you then that was doubting.
