Under the streetlight, our shadow defined.
Light long on a quiet street,
You told me goodnight.
It’s a give and take,
What difference does it make?
I crawled to you for so long.
And while we aimed to be true,
Just look back on the years,
I’d be your burden of the year.
I hear this humming everytime I go by.
We stayed around, let each other down.
Then you lost me.
Goodnight.
I don’t wonder why.
I can’t tell you what to do, you don’t ever stay.
If you notice me, I’m losing you.
Take your hoodie away.
I can’t tell you what to do, you don’t ever stay.
I turned back to you, and there I knew
We won’t stay the same,
We won’t see the day.
It’s a give and take,
What difference does it make?
I walked to you for so long.
