All Those Pretty Lights

The wind blows through your hair
 As you're walking, people stare
 Up the block and down the street to North King's highway
 And there's a beating in my chest
 That is seeming to suggest
 That before this day is through it might go my way
 And so I sit back in my seat
 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 me
 Oh, and I wanna remember this night
 And how my words never came out right
 And it's just my patience that keeps me alive
 Just like all those pretty lights
 Just like all the pretty lights in the sky
 ♪
 There's something to be said about the colors in your head
 How they mix to form the perfect shade of sadness
 And not 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 this
 Oh, and I wanna remember this night
 And how my words never came out right
 And it's just my patience that keeps me alive
 Just like all those pretty lights
 Just like all the pretty lights in the sky
 ♪
 And I remember we stayed up way past your bedtime
 Up on the second floor
 Down by my sliding door
 Just innocent kids in a victimless crime
 Trapped in a metaphor
 Hoping for something more
 I wanna remember this night
 And how my words never came out right
 And it's just my patience that keeps me alive
 Oh, just like all those pretty lights
 Just like all the pretty lights
 Oh, and I wanna remember this night
 And how my words never came out right
 And it's just my patience that keeps me alive
 Just like all those pretty lights
 Just like all the pretty lights in the sky
 In the sky
 Just like all those pretty lights
 Just like all the pretty lights in the sky
 In the sky
 Just like all those pretty lights
 Just like all the pretty lights in the sky
