Lyrics
I remember your face
I have a vivid memory of your face.
Exactly how you looked like
I remember exactly how you appeared.
Under the streetlamps we danced beneath
We danced beneath the streetlamps.
In the dead of the night
This happened in the dead of the night.
And you held my hand
You held my hand during this moment.
Saw your eyes light up
I saw your eyes light up.
Could've sworn you should be home by eleven
It seemed like you should have been home by eleven, but we were still out.
You weren't afraid of the dark
You weren't afraid of the dark.
And she said I know these streets by heart
She claims to know these streets intimately.
And she said I know these streets by heart
Reiteration of her familiarity with the streets.
And she said I know these streets by heart
Continued emphasis on her knowledge of the streets.
We could get lost if you want
Suggesting the possibility of getting lost together.
Could've held you longer
Expressing a desire to have held onto the moment longer.
In that back alley you took me in
Recalling a specific back alley where something significant happened.
When my lips met yours
Describing the moment when their lips met.
For the first time
This was the first time their lips touched.
For the first time
Reiteration of the significance of the first kiss.
And she said I know these streets by heart
Repeating her claim to know the streets intimately.
And she said I know these streets by heart
Restating her familiarity with the streets.
And she said I know these streets by heart
Emphasizing once again her knowledge of the streets.
We could get lost if you want
Reiterating the possibility of getting lost together.
And she walked home
Describing her walking home.
And she walked home
Repetition of her action, potentially emphasizing the act of walking home.
And she walked home
Continued repetition, reinforcing the idea of her walking home.
And she walked home
Final repetition, perhaps concluding the narrative.
