Track Insight / Lyrics
Concrete echoes under brick
Autumn's chill, a dim streetlight
Boston's secret where forgotten hopes reside
Midnight solace in the shadows' stride
Neon puddles reflect my worn shoes
Rain-washed city grime on my denim
I slip beneath the diner's sheltered view
Where petals from the tree make a soft arc or two
A lifetime of stories in these walls
Whispers of love and broken calls
But I find comfort in the city's din
Under the glow of the diner sign
Sidelit, I'm a specter here
Living in the ghostlight, year by year
Breathing in the scent of burnt coffee grounds
Lost in this place, where time keeps turning 'round
Steam from the kitchen drifts and swarms
A symphony of diner sounds
The clatter of dishes, low-key hums
Of conversations that never end up to some
Sidelit, I'm a specter here
Living in the ghostlight, year by year
Breathing in the scent of burnt coffee grounds
Lost in this place, where time keeps turning 'round
Maybe someday I'll find my name
Carved on a table, or a love note tamed
But until then, I'll stay asleep
In the rhythm of this diner's secrets deep
Sidelit, I'm a specter here
Living in the ghostlight, year by year
Breathing in the scent of burnt coffee grounds
Lost in this place, where time keeps turning 'round
As dawn approaches, I slip away
Back into the city's neon-lit fray
A fleeting moment in a diner's heart
Where dreams and secrets never depart
