See the Lights Go Out

The wind blows through your hair
As you're walking people stare
Up the block and down the street to North King's highwayAnd there's a beating in my chest
And it's seeming to suggest
That before this day is through it might go my wayAnd so I sit back in my seat
I scribble down something that's sweet about a boy
A girl
An endless stretch of scenery'Cause it's like falling to your knees before a stranger on the street
I did it just the other day
You should have seen meOh
And I wanna remember this night
And how my words never came out right
It's just my patience that keeps me alive
Just like all those pretty lights
Just like all the pretty lights in the skyThere's something to be said about the colors in your head
And how they mix to form the perfect shade of sadnessNot because of things I've done or any of the songs I've sung
It's just the story of our lives
We wish we had thisOh
And I wanna remember this night
And how my words never came out right
It's just my patience that keeps me alive
Just like all those pretty lights
Just like all the pretty lights in the skyAnd I remember we stayed up way past your bedtime
Up on the second floor
Down by my sliding doorJust innocent kids in a victimless crime
Trapped in a metaphor
Hoping for something moreAnd I wanna remember this night
And how my words never came out right
It's just my patience that keeps me alive
Oh
Just like all those pretty lights
Just like all the pretty lights in the skyOh
And I wanna remember this night
And how my words never came out right
It's just my patience that keeps me alive
Oh
Just like all those pretty lights
Just like all the pretty lights in the skyIn the sky
Just like all those pretty lights
Just like all the pretty lights in the skyIn the sky
Just like all those pretty lights
Just like all the pretty lights in the sky
