Ya know how street lights stay on through the middle of the night even when nobody is on the road? But they're there. Waiting. Just in case.

lyrics

you made me feel taller than my shadow now i know just where i stand

when you used to be the sun now you're the clouds above my head.

i used to thank god for you.

you called me your piece of the sky when i wore blue.

now skies are grey

i need my sunshine to chase these clouds away,

but it rains.

if you could hear me now, would you hear me out?

i'm so desperate for you, and only you.

it's only you.

grey is the only shade you can color me since you left me wondering;

do you hate me, like i hate me?

and did you find someone else to replace me when you ran away?

as long as you're gone i'll wait.

it's only a scar that ill always keep, but it's one only i can see.

you were a star i'd never reach on all those nights i didn't sleep,

but you weren't shining for me.

you'd never shine for me.

it's only you.
