Lyrics of string lights – chicago ave

took a walk to the city
put a lover and a couple miles in our shoes
down by the riverside
watched the sun be the sun, and watched it go

and you tail me like a ghost
if not every street, then most of them
you’re the part of here that’s home

every alley, downtown
is full of you and our evenings
sentiments and rush hours
the blue eyed pavement, the cracks are green

and i feel you in my clothes
you filled my sleeves, you warmed them
you’re the air between the folds

you are my city
you’re every streetlight, every pull
you are my city
and i still know your every road

you’re every spark and glow
that lingers in my mouth, my clothes
you’re the part of here that’s home
