City Lights in the Rain

Verse 1

Streetlight hums like a broken radio

Puddles catch the amber glow

Walk the same block where we used to go

You laughed at me in the pouring rain

I traced your name on the window glass

Dried it slow with a careless laugh

Now every bus that goes on past

Sounds like you calling out my name

Pre-Chorus

And I know you're gone

But the pavement still remembers

Every step we took together

Chorus

City lights are bleeding through the rain

Every rooftop singin' out your name

And I'm standing here where we used to stand

Reaching for a shadow, holding out my hand

City lights are bleeding through the rain

Every window shows your ghost again

Warm like summer, gone like autumn's end

I'm still dancing with your memory

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Rain keeps falling down

Oh-oh-oh

Rain keeps falling down

Verse 2

Coffee shop on the corner's still open wide

We used to hide there when the sky would cry

The barista still knows my usual side

But she doesn't ask me why you're not around

I hear your voice in the theater lobby

Smell your perfume on the subway copy

All these streets are turning into a story

I keep reading till the words fade out

Pre-Chorus

And I know you're gone

But the traffic lights are blinking

Like they're winking at your memory

Chorus

City lights are bleeding through the rain

Every rooftop singin' out your name

And I'm standing here where we used to stand

Reaching for a shadow, holding out my hand

City lights are bleeding through the rain

Every window shows your ghost again

Warm like summer, gone like autumn's end

I'm still dancing with your memory

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Rain keeps falling down

Oh-oh-oh

Rain keeps falling down

Bridge

Maybe somewhere the sun is breaking through

Maybe somewhere I'm still holding you

But here the storm keeps tap-tapping on the glass

A rhythm only we two used to know

A rhythm only we two used to know

Final Chorus

City lights are bleeding through the rain

Every rooftop singin' out your name

I'm still standing where we used to stand

Holding out my hand

City lights are bleeding through the rain

Every window shows your ghost again

Warm like summer, gone like autumn's end

I'm still dancing with your memory

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Rain keeps falling down

Oh-oh-oh

Rain keeps falling down
