Streetlights Lyrics

For the first time,
I know it's a dream,
I saw the two of us smiling on the movie screen,
As we sat and watched ourselves.

When you left we were laughing,
And kicking the snow,
In the streets, the projecter light made us glow,
As we sat and watched ourselves.

We were dancing in the snow,
When I said, I can take you where you want to go.

Let's leave right now,
This town is holding us down.

When I go outside,
I hope that nothing has changed,
I wanna see the city lights spelling out our names,
As we sat and watched ourselves.

And though the film has aged,
Our faces are just as bright,
We can sit and watch the credits til the sky gets light,
As we sat and watched ourselves.

In the car you said green means go,
But I couldn't take my mind off the stereo.

Let's leave right now,
This town is holding us down,
Let's run away,
The streetlights map our escape.

Thanks for your time,
Thanks for your time,
Thanks for your time,
Thanks for your time,

Let's leave right now,
This town is holding us down.

Let's leave right now,
This town is holding us down,
Let's run away,
The streetlights map our escape.

For the first time,
I know it's a dream,
I saw the two of us smiling on the movie screen,
As we sat and watched ourselves.
