Yellow Streets After You

[Verse 1]
Fall air
Thin and quiet
Leaves stick to my shoes
Your scarf in my pocket
Smells like yesterday’s news
Empty bench by the river
Crows cutting through the sky
Every window glowing
Every one
Not mine
[Chorus]
Yellow streets after you
Every corner feels like two
Just my shadow walking through
Yellow streets after you
I keep calling out your name
But the wind just hides the sound
I am one man in this town
Yellow streets after you
[Verse 2]
Cold tea in a paper cup
Smoke climbing
Then it falls
Shop lights flicker open
Couples leaning on the walls
I count cracks in the pavement
Like the days since you let go
Every step
A quiet question
Answered by the dusk alone
[Chorus]
Yellow streets after you
Every corner feels like two
Just my shadow walking through
Yellow streets after you
I keep calling out your name
But the wind just hides the sound
I am one man in this town
Yellow streets after you
[Bridge]
[Music swells
Piano climbing
Guitar crying softly]
Sudden rush inside my chest (oh)
Then it drops
Just empty breath
Rising hope
Then falling through
Like the sun losing its blue
[Chorus]
Yellow streets after you
Every corner feels like two
Just my shadow walking through
Yellow streets after you
I keep calling out your name
But the wind just hides the sound
I am one man in this town
Yellow streets after you

Dynamic swells mirror sudden emotional surges, with a short instrumental rise-and-fall bridge for cinematic impact., sad, electric
