singing home from the metro to coldplay on an autumn night

by Molly Malone


The darkness squeezes between the city lights
Yellow flashes cutting across its peace
Her voice harmonizes to impossible heights

Look at the stars

We don’t know what we’ll do when we arrive
We only know Fairfax city and crooked yellow lines
Chris Martin leads and we’re all glad to be alive

Look how they shine for you

I’m the picky one, no Ting Tings and Muse
I want something to sing to a yellow moon
We all know this is something we’ll lose

And all the things that you do

The windows up because the backseat was cold
The lights I hope will flash yellow glow red instead
We sit while my melody and their harmonies fold

Look how they shine for you

Look how they shine for you



Look how they shine for you
