Every Time the Night Calls

Intro

City lights, heavy in the summer air

Footsteps echo, stories everywhere

Verse

Midnight shadows dancing on the blacktop street

Beneath the faded glow where old rivals meet

Smoke curls up, laughter fades into the haze

Something stormy stirring in the narrow passageways

Old stereo humming out an aching old refrain

Clouds above, restless and untamed

Pre-chorus

In the corner of my eye, I see the silhouettes move

Between memory and mayhem, nothing left to prove

Chorus

Oh, I feel the ground shake, ripples through my soul

Roar inside me breaking what I can't control

One moment we're strangers, the next we're legends falling slow

Every time the night calls, I already know

Oh, every time the night calls, I already know

Verse

Fire escapes rattle as the rumors grow tall

Crushed soda cans and rose petals in the hall

Outsized feelings crowd the edges of the dark

Thunder on the pavement leaves a crooked mark

Streetlights flicker with a warning no one heeds

Even monsters just want someone who sees

Pre-chorus

Neon glimmers flicker, painted green and gold

Dancing in the silence, afraid of getting old

Chorus

Oh, I feel the ground shake, ripples through my soul

Roar inside me breaking what I can't control

One moment we're strangers, the next we're legends falling slow

Every time the night calls, I already know

Oh, every time the night calls, I already know

Bridge

Towering above it all, the sadness and the fire

I'm searching for forgiveness, higher and higher

With every broken window, we cut loose the past

If I leave footprints, let them be the last

Chorus

Oh, I feel the ground shake, ripples through my soul

Roar inside me breaking what I can't control

One moment we're strangers, the next we're legends falling slow

Every time the night calls, I already know

Oh, every time the night calls, I already know

Outro

Silent city resting under neon blue

All that's left between us, just a memory or two

The world keeps turning, shadows drift away

I walk the empty streets 'til the break of day
