Streetlight Sky

Streetlight Sky
Streetlight Sky

Walking home past quiet houses
One streetlamp buzzing over us
You say the clouds ruined the stars
I say this block is good enough
Your coat sleeve brushing mine
Dogs barking two streets down
Nothing worth a travel brochure
Still I don't want to turn around

Wonder is attention
Not location

Streetlight Sky, you make this block feel wide
Streetlight Sky, nothing special but the night
We missed the stars and still looked up
Streetlight Sky, that was enough

Streetlight Sky
Streetlight Sky

Lamp flickers twice then dies
Whole sidewalk changes shape
We pull our phone lights from our pockets
Make tiny constellations on the pavement
You laugh at how ridiculous
Two flashlights look held to the blue
I think maybe romance is mostly
Caring enough to notice who you're with

I once thought the setting
Had to earn the memory
We missed the stars and still looked up
That flickering streetlamp was proof enough

Streetlight Sky, phones going dim
Streetlight Sky, let the dark come in
We missed the stars and still looked up
Streetlight Sky, you were enough

Streetlight Sky
