These mountainous street lights they pave our way,
But blind us and keep you away.
They shine so bright to push me through
These memories are overcast, I'll remember them much too soon.

Take me back to where I was
In your arms downtown,
Where nothing was spoken soft.
Take me back to way back when
We weren't opposites,
And you promised this wouldn't end.

This is a place, I probably shouldn't be.
(But don't run away.)
This is a place, I never should have gone.
(No, stay right here please.)
This is a place, I really shouldn't see.
(Just don't stay, no)
This is a place, where I should never have gone.
(You've been here much too long.)

Take me back to where I was
In your arms downtown,
Where nothing was shouted loud.
Take me back to way back when
We weren't opposites,
And you promised this wouldn't end.

These mountainous street lights they pave our way,
But blind us and keep you away.
And shine so bright to push me through
These memories are overcast, I'll remember you much too soon.
