The song talks about the struggle of an individual with the person they are in a relationship with. Using the ‘streetlight’ as a metaphor, the individual still manages to see the light in their lover and tries to fight for it.
[Intro]
Ooohh, oohh, ooohh, ooohh
Ooohh, oohh, ooohh
[Verse 1]
Running in circles
In our own paradise
I can tell by your look
Fire had turned to ice
[Pre-Chorus 1]
As it is fading
See how I’m hurting
I try to pull it together
My voice is breaking
My hands are shaking
Baby for what it's worth
[Chorus]
You’re my midnight streetlight
My shadow is coming your way
You’re my midnight streetlight
Tell me you want me to stay
[Verse 2]
I'll put in the vibrant colors
In our grey town
I’ll do it all, all for you
Now I'm left, without a sound
[Pre-Chorus 2]
What’s with the waiting?
See how I’m hurting
I try to put it together
My heart is racing
Fate is still breathing
Baby for what it's worth
[Chorus]
You’re my midnight streetlight
My shadow is coming your way
You’re my midnight streetlight
Tell me you want me to stay
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
You’re my midnight streetlight
My shadow is coming your way
You’re my midnight streetlight
Tell me you want me to stay
