Street Light Lyrics
She's a street light in the evening rain,
An empty seat on the rush hour train.
She's a polaroid lying on the street,
She's the lover I may never meet.
Every night I breathe her in,
Feel her sink into my skin.
Still I feel,
That I am envious and obvious and desperate for your love,
I am shouted by and criticised,
Still I crave your touch.
And I know the time you're killing is mine,
But I... I don't mind.
She's a phone call in the dead of night,
A stranger's voice I recognize.
She's a radio playing in the dark,
She's the name you'll find written on my heart.
Every night I breathe her in,
Feel her sink into my skin.
Still I feel
That I am envious and obvious and desperate for your love,
I am shouted by and criticised,
Still I crave your touch.
And I know the time you're killing is mine,
But I... I don't mind.
An empty seat on the rush hour train.
She's a polaroid lying on the street,
She's the lover I may never meet.
Feel her sink into my skin.
Still I feel,
That I am envious and obvious and desperate for your love,
I am shouted by and criticised,
Still I crave your touch.
And I know the time you're killing is mine,
But I... I don't mind.
A stranger's voice I recognize.
She's a radio playing in the dark,
She's the name you'll find written on my heart.
Feel her sink into my skin.
Still I feel
That I am envious and obvious and desperate for your love,
I am shouted by and criticised,
Still I crave your touch.
And I know the time you're killing is mine,
But I... I don't mind.

it's a wonderful love song about how unique a lover is... I think...
What I take from this absolutely gorgeous song is that everywhere he goes, he sees this girl in everything, in the "radio playing in the dark" and the "polaroid lying on the street." It's so beautiful...I cried the first time I heard it.
This is about his girlfriend and missing her while touring.
Tom said about this: "This is a song for a city, and its the closest thing I've ever written to a love song, but it still features the word 'kill' in it". Haha, funny guy. This is a great bside track, and shows Tom always writes timeless classics even if they don't make the final cut of the album.
