Lyric

[Verse 1]

Through the window of that familiar place

Evening shadows stretch their face

I told myself I wouldn’t stop

Just another reason not to knock

Saying “she’s like my little sister”

Makes the weight feel slightly lighter

I learned those words too late to see

How carefully they learned me

[Chorus]

The nights I choose to walk away

The wind still wanders, won’t obey

Like it’s looking for the bar’s last light

My footsteps slow into the night

[Verse 2]

Polite replies, a measured tone

Coffee cooling, left alone

Nothing happens, nothing said

Still it echoes in my head

I thought that aging meant erase

Let memory fade without a trace

But all I did was learn the art

Of keeping things without the start

[Chorus]

The nights I choose to walk away

The wind still wanders, won’t obey

Like it’s looking for the bar’s last light

My footsteps slow into the night

[Interlude]

(Violin Solo)

[Verse 3]

Not sure if love was ever there

I never named it, never dared

I leave her name unspoken still

Light a room inside my will

[Outro]

On my way home, the signal stays

Red a little longer than my days

Till it turns to green, I stand and see

I learned to wait—just patiently

On my way home, the signal stays

Red a little longer than my days

Till it turns to green, I stand and see

I learned to wait—just patiently
