Lyrics

I wish I'd never made a graveyard of these empty streets Where every road is named after my shame and cold defeat But now the sky is new, the winds have changed, the time is here To let go of regrets, to have no rules, to have no fear And someday they will die to catch a glimpse of who we'll be And they will call our names, but we will never let them see Beneath the streetlights, we will sing until the morning light You have to see it to believe it, the future's mine to claim tonight I wish I'd never wrote those chapters, named them after you Where every line was my design for how we'd follow through But now the story's old, the moon is full and I can't wait No longer used, no, I refuse to give up my own fate And someday they will die to catch a glimpse of who we'll be And they will call our names, but we will never let them see Beneath the streetlights, we will sing until the morning light You have to see it to believe it, the future's mine to claim tonight And if the lights go out, I won't be afraid You need to bear the heat before you reach the waves And if the sun comes up and I am still alone I know that I will find a way to make it on my own And someday they will die to catch a glimpse of who we'll be And they will call our names, but we will never let them see Beneath the streetlights, we will sing until the morning light You have to see it to believe it, the future's mine to claim tonight You need to bear the heat before you reach the waves And if the lights go out, I won't be afraid
