Street Lights - Ekoh, Josh Rabenold

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
