[Verse 1]
Well, where were we when stolen turns
Of torment heard crept through the trees?
The faceless page of loaded leaves
Amount to mounds around our feet

[Verse 2]
The soiled and severed dormant reeds
On shopfronts filled our brooding streets
The love we draw, upon so sweet
The moment strained our stillness

[Verse 3]
Above the calls of only men
That brave the dirt of handheld pen
And in the end our weightless state
Was all we had to break away
I know I should have stayed that day
Your eyes wrapped 'round me still

[Verse 4]
And in the now, this wistful town
Was swept and drowned beneath its ground

[Chorus]
But how the streets adore me now
But how the streets adore me now
[Outro]
My love, my light, my darkness
