Streetlights Painted You Gold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You and me, we were seventeen I was walking you home Felt alive in the summer heat The streetlights painted you gold On the church steps at Holy Name I kissed you under the moon And carved the date into everything July 22 [Verse 2] You and me in my cousin's place Under 95 I watched you laugh uncontrollably By the patio lights I knew I needed a second chance Needed you back in my life Needed you singing the harmony At night while we drive [Chorus] And I don't want to say that you saved mе But you saved me Didn't feel like I was any good Until you I couldn't losе your laugh again Oh no baby Yeah you showed me Some things are worth staying for And for me, that was you [Verse 3] You and me almost 23 Surrounded by hand-me-downs Where the hot water never works Cheapest apartment in town I left you flowers along the stairs Started carving with you A new date into everything August 22 [Chorus] And I don't want to say that you saved me But you saved me Didn't feel like I was any good Until you I couldn't lose your laugh again Oh no baby Yeah you showed me Some things are worth staying for And for me, that was you It was you
