All Those Pretty Lights (Alternate Universe Version)

The wind blows through your hair

As you're walking people stare

Up the block and down the street to North King's highway

And there's a beating in my chest

And it's seeming to suggest

That before this day is through it might go my way

And so I sit back in my seat

I scribble down something that's sweet about a boy

A girl

An endless stretch of scenery

'Cause it's like falling to your knees before a stranger on the street

I did it just the other day

You should have seen me

And I wanna remember this night

And how my words never came out right

It's just my patience that keeps me alive

Just like all those pretty lights

Just like all the pretty lights in the sky

There's something to be said about the colors in your head

And how they mix to form the perfect shade of sadness

Not because of things I've done or any of the songs I've sung

It's just the story of our lives

We wish we had this

Oh

And I wanna remember this night

And how my words never came out right

It's just my patience that keeps me alive

Just like all those pretty lights

Just like all the pretty lights in the sky

And I remember we stayed up way past your bedtime

Up on the second floor

Down by my sliding door

Just innocent kids in a victimless crime

Trapped in a metaphor

Hoping for something more

And I wanna remember this night

And how my words never came out right

It's just my patience that keeps me alive

Just like all those pretty lights

Just like all the pretty lights in the sky

And I wanna remember this night

And how my words never came out right

It's just my patience that keeps me alive

Just like all those pretty lights

Just like all the pretty lights in the sky

Just like all those pretty lights

Just like all the pretty lights in the sky

In the sky

In the sky
