Lyric

Seven-thirty, same alarm

Still beat it by a minute now

Coffee’s cooling in my hand

’Cause I’m not rushing out

I used to race the crosswalk light

Now I slow my footsteps down

Funny how the longest way

Feels like the shortest route in town

Nothing changed along this avenue

Same old sky, familiar blue

Maybe all that changed is

I’ve got somewhere to walk with you

Every red light buys us time

One more minute, you and I

Funny how I never noticed

How good this city looks tonight

Even Monday has a little gold

Even winter doesn’t feel so cold

You didn’t change this town at all

You just changed the way I see it

Green can wait

I’m okay

Right here beside you anyway

You draw a heart into the glass

Then wipe it off when people stare

You steal my fries without asking

Like they were always yours to share

The bus rolls up, we let it go

Catch the next one without a word

Never thought I’d miss on purpose

Just to hear one more story first

Nothing changed along this avenue

The taxis still come rushing through

Maybe all that changed is

Every road feels new with you

Every red light buys us time

One more minute, you and I

Funny how I never noticed

How good this city looks tonight

Even Monday has a little gold

Even winter doesn’t feel so cold

You didn’t change this town at all

You just changed the way I see it

Green can wait

I’m okay

Right here beside you anyway

Storefronts closing one by one

Rain still shining on the street

The light turns green, you take my hand

And pull me gently off the curb

I used to hate red lights

Now I hate when they turn green

Every red light buys us time

One more minute, you and I

Let the next bus pass us by

I’m in no hurry tonight

Even Monday has a little gold

Even winter doesn’t feel so cold

You didn’t change this town at all

You just changed the way I see it

Green can wait

I’m okay

Right here beside you anyway

Seven-thirty

Coffee cools

Same old city

Walking home with you
