When The Street Lights Come On

Lyrics

⸻ [VERSE 1] Remember when summer felt forever? Barefoot running through the backyard grass BMX bikes lined up in the cul-de-sac Couple bucks made us feel rich back then Dollar Tree snacks and some suntan skin Sprinklers hitting on a July night Fireflies glowing under porch light skies Nobody thinking ’bout growing up Yeah back then life was more than enough ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] We didn’t care what time it was Just didn’t wanna hear “that’s enough!” ⸻ [CHORUS] When the street lights come on And somebody’s yelling “come back home” One more ride, one more song We swore those nights would last so long Whoa-oh-oh Running wild till the break of dawn Living like the world was ours When the street lights come on (Hey! Hey!) ⸻ [VERSE 2] Sidewalk chalk and those old skateboards Sneaking out through unlocked doors Every little town had a Friday night Bonfire sparks underneath moonlight Dirty shoes and scraped up hearts Racing shadows underneath the stars Nobody cared who had what We were rich enough just being us ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] Yeah we thought those days would never end Now we’d give anything to feel that again ⸻ [CHORUS] When the street lights come on And somebody’s yelling “come back home” One more ride, one more song We swore those nights would last so long Whoa-oh-oh Running wild till the break of dawn Living like the world was ours When the street lights come on (Hey! Hey!) ⸻ [BRIDGE] Now those kids got jobs and kids of their own Different roads and different homes But every summer when the warm wind blows You can still feel those memories glowing ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] When the street lights come on Yeah you still remember being young Those small-town nights still live on Somewhere in all of us Whoa-oh-oh Nothing ever felt so strong Like those barefoot summer hearts When the street lights came on (HEY! HEY!)
