[Verse 1]
When the streetlights
Come on, the pooling night
Is leveed aside and pressed in twilight
Against our two rooms, I'll see you tonight
The pavement is aching
Cicadas are crying
The wine-colored air breathing thoughts through your hair
Breezing to me, leading me there

[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid
Of what you'll say

[Verse 2]
And I find you
Twilit beyond all the cars
In driveways they sleep but streetlights will keep
Watch over me; they flicker like stars
And now the secrets
Carefully kept inside
Run the streets red, our chemicals spread
Washing us through, making you mine
[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid
Of what you'll say

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Now there are no words
Only the glow in our wires
And so we will be, you turn slow to me
Our lips set the sun (I'll never leave you)
The hills are on fire
Oh

[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid
Of what you'll say
