Last train gone
Shops all shuttered
Breath in the cold
Words still stuttered
You walk slow
Hands in your coat
Street name signs
Catch in my throat
Under these city lights
I almost say your name
It’s louder in my chest
Than any passing train
If I just tell the truth
Do I lose what we’ve got tonight
I’m one step from your shoulder
And a mile from saying it right
Coffee steam
On your glasses
You laugh once
Silence passes
Your sleeve brushes mine
Time slips
Then it stays
I chase one brave line
Through a hundred yesterdays
Under these city lights
I almost say your name
It’s louder in my chest
Than any passing train
If I just tell the truth
Do I lose what we’ve got tonight
I’m one step from your shoulder
And a mile from saying it right
Would you turn away
If I crossed this tiny space? (oh)
Or would you pull me in
Like I’ve wished a thousand days
Under these city lights
I finally say your name
It trembles off my lips
But it doesn’t sound the same
‘Cause you smile like you knew
You were waiting for this all night
Now your hand finds my shoulder
And the quiet starts to feel right
