The Roads Still Know

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Streetlight humming over wet concrete

Signs I never noticed change their names again

Old cafe where mother held my hand

Now a hollow window full of plastic rain

Pre-Chorus

Every corner keeps a small goodbye

Every doorway keeps a lullaby

Chorus

Underneath the neon, the city is still me

Underneath the midnight, the buildings bend and breathe

I keep the faded colors, the ladders and the leaves

Underneath the neon, they never truly leave

Hook

Ooh the roofs still glow

Ooh the roads still know

Middle 8

Round the spiral staircase in my head

I hear a playground bell from years ago

The pavement shifts but oh the names

They stay the same wherever I go

Verse 2

Faces I once knew behind the glass

Waving like a shelf of borrowed time

I smile into the traffic where it stands

And love the stranger that I used to find

Pre-Chorus

Every window keeps a small goodbye

Every doorway keeps a lullaby

Chorus

Underneath the neon, the city is still me

Underneath the midnight, the buildings bend and breathe

I keep the faded colors, the ladders and the leaves

Underneath the neon, they never truly leave

Hook

Ooh the roofs still glow

Ooh the roads still know

Bridge

Let the new signs whisper over town

I carry mine where none can burn them down

Chorus

Underneath the neon, the city is still me

Underneath the midnight, the buildings bend and breathe

I keep the faded colors, the ladders and the leaves

Underneath the neon, they never truly leave

Outro

Mm-hmm

Ooh the roofs still glow

Mm

They never truly leave
