Streetlights Painted You Gold

[Verse 1]
You and me, we were seventeen
I was walking you home
Felt alive in the summer heat
The streetlights painted you gold
On the church steps at Holy Name
I kissed you under the moon
And carved the date into everything
July 22

[Verse 2]
You and me in my cousin's place
Under 95
I watched you laugh uncontrollably
By the patio lights
I knew I needed a second chance
Needed you back in my life
Needed you singing the harmony
At night while we drive

[Chorus]
And I don't want to say that you saved mе
But you saved me
Didn't feel like I was any good
Until you
I couldn't losе your laugh again
Oh no baby
Yeah you showed me
Some things are worth staying for
And for me, that was you

[Verse 3]
You and me almost 23
Surrounded by hand-me-downs
Where the hot water never works
Cheapest apartment in town
I left you flowers along the stairs
Started carving with you
A new date into everything
August 22

[Chorus]
And I don't want to say that you saved me
But you saved me
Didn't feel like I was any good
Until you
I couldn't lose your laugh again
Oh no baby
Yeah you showed me
Some things are worth staying for
And for me, that was you
It was you
