Neon signs are running in the puddles
But there’s no one running here with me
My coat’s pulled tight, my headphones quiet
Every window shows a memory
Street name glows on a crooked corner
Where you used to wait and wave me in
Now it’s just reflections and a shutter
And a stranger’s shadow wearing your skin
Rain on empty streets
Falling just for me
Every single drop
Spells your name in steam
I keep walking slow
Through the haze and heat
Heartbeats out of time
With these tired feet
Rain on empty streets
Rain on empty streets
Taxi lights drag halos on the asphalt
Like they’re trying to follow what we lost
I step around the places that we laughed in
Like they’re taped off scenes I can’t cross
Phone in my hand, thumb on your number
Watching it glow, then fade to black
Every traffic light is turning over
Still I circle, never turning back
Rain on empty streets
Falling just for me
Every single drop
Spells your name in steam
I keep walking slow
Through the haze and heat
Heartbeats out of time
With these tired feet
Rain on empty streets
Rain on empty streets
Maybe you’re asleep on some warm shoulder
While I talk it out with the gutter and the sky
If I close my eyes where this road bends over
Would I feel you slide your hand back into mine?
Rain on empty streets
Fading into sleep
Every echo sounds
Like your voice to me
I keep walking slow
Till the night gets weak
Let the quiet come
Let the pavement breathe
Rain on empty streets
Rain on empty streets
