Streetlights Lyrics

I was sitting in my room

When I heard the doorbell ring

It was my friend right outside

He was waiting there for me

So I ran back to the kitchen

Asked my mom if I could go

She said that's okay

Don't be gone too long

Come back when the streetlights come on

Come on, come on

Don't be gone too long

Don't stay out past dark

You've spent all day at the park

Come on, come on

Make your way back home

The sun is gone

So it's time for you to go

It's a sunny, summer day

No plans, no school, no delay

Let's go on an adventure

Games of tag that last forever

Pretend the alleyway was a hallway in a

Desolate castle in a kingdom

Parents couldn't keep us inside

Even if they tried

They'd say that's okay

Don't be gone too long

Come back when the streetlights come on

Come on, come on

Don't be gone too long

Don't stay out past dark

You've spent all day at the park

Come on, come on

Make your way back home

The sun is gone

So it's time for you to go

No matter the day

You couldn't keep us from laying

On the street in the rain

Ride our bikes through the drains

Even though we're all gone

And everyone has moved on

These are the memories that have stayed

On the street in the rain

But we know, it's okay

We couldn't be gone too long

Had to grow up when the streetlights came on
