Streetlights Lyrics
When the streetlights
Come on the pooling night
Is levied aside
And pressed in twilight
Against our two rooms
I'll see you tonight
The pavement is aching
Cicadas are crying
The wine colored air
Breathing thoughts
Through your hair
Breezing to me
Leading me there
I come alive
As the shadows parade
My hot summer blood
Comes and floods and it waves
Curbside confessions
No longer afraid
Of what you'll say
And I find you
Twilit beyond all the cars
The driveways they sleep
But streetlights will keep
Watch over me
They flicker like stars
And now all the secrets
Carefully kept inside
Run the streets rad
Our chemicals spread
Washing us through
Making you mine
I come alive
As the shadows parade
My hot summer blood
Comes and floods and it waves
Curbside confessions
No longer afraid
Of what you'll say
Now there no words
Only the glow in our wires
And so we will be
You turn slow to me
Our lips at the sun
The hills are on fire
Oh
I come alive
As the shadows parade
My hot summer blood
Comes and floods and it waves
Curbside confessions
No longer afraid
Of what you'll say
Of what you'll say
Come on the pooling night
Is levied aside
And pressed in twilight
Against our two rooms
I'll see you tonight
Cicadas are crying
The wine colored air
Breathing thoughts
Through your hair
Breezing to me
Leading me there
As the shadows parade
My hot summer blood
Comes and floods and it waves
Curbside confessions
No longer afraid
Of what you'll say
Twilit beyond all the cars
The driveways they sleep
But streetlights will keep
Watch over me
They flicker like stars
Carefully kept inside
Run the streets rad
Our chemicals spread
Washing us through
Making you mine
As the shadows parade
My hot summer blood
Comes and floods and it waves
Curbside confessions
No longer afraid
Of what you'll say
Only the glow in our wires
And so we will be
You turn slow to me
Our lips at the sun
The hills are on fire
Oh
As the shadows parade
My hot summer blood
Comes and floods and it waves
Curbside confessions
No longer afraid
Of what you'll say
Of what you'll say

this song is one of the most beautiful songs ever. thank you ludo, for writing a song that every time i listen to i remember perfect summers filled with friends, love and st. louis streetlights. "Now there no words Only the glow in our wires And so we will be You turn slow to me Our lips at the sun The hills are on fire"
i love this verse. the whole song is about night, and streetlights. but then... "the hills are on fire". it's like the sun coming up.
this song is so beautiful.
"comes in floods and in waves"
are the lyrics, I'm pretty sure. That makes a lot more sense.

this song is so beautiful.
this song is really gorgeous, the lyrics are so vivid and poetic, it's about summer and love and being in the moment no matter the consequences.
I love the lyrics to this song.
As imaginexdarkness said, the lyrics are really poetic.
This song is absolutely and most definitely one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It is about young love, and each time I hear it I am near tears. Lovely in every way.
I think it's a song about young love, because the whole thing about "when the streetlights come on" is always associated with children who need to be home before the "streetlights come on"
This song is the most beautiful song written by Ludo in my opinion. This song reminds me of the nights that me and my friends used to walk down to the beach and joke around until the sun set. I honestly think this song is about what summer is to most kids and teenagers. Its a time to let go and have fun, making memories and making relationships stronger.
Yes, I too think its about being young and staying out all night, being in love. The imagery is fantastic. I love how Andrew actually creates dynamics within the song, growing stronger into the chorus.
Idk if I'm wrong, but this is what I get out of this:
The songs seems to be about two people who are in love (obviously). And their love for eachother is so strong that it literally alters the world around them. Slowly, the world starts to fall apart, until all that is left are them, and their love for eachother.
Truly a beautiful song. Probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
I actually dedicated it to the woman I'm in love with. Every time I listen to it, I cry.
