Cold nights in Toronto, streetcars hum my name
I was born by the ocean, Taiwan rain on windowpanes
I thought you were a rumor, thought I read you wrong
Dark clothes, black hair, moving like you don’t belong
Everybody whispered, said, “Yeah, he’s not that kind”
If I passed you on the sidewalk, I’d believe the signs
You laughed it off, got quiet when they brought it up
Short fuse, small frame, but you burned enough
You were shy in the corner, eyes down low
Till the music hit and you let go
One night, one spark, one crowded room
Left me wanting what we didn’t do
Brady, you left me hanging in the neon light
One moment felt bigger than the rest of my life
You don’t stay still, you don’t stay long
Life keeps pulling you where you don’t belong
I’ll be back at the club where the bass hits hard
Hoping you’ll find your way back to my heart
You dress in shadows, lace and black
People stare, you never look back
You say you’ll make films, put stories on a screen
California sunsets, somewhere in between
You like the smoke, the buzz, the blur
You say it helps, but I’m not sure
You’re quiet sober, loud when drunk
Life of the party, but alone when it’s done
You talk about L.A. like it’s calling your name
But the days keep passing, nothing changes
Parents’ basement, dreams on pause
Still chasing light through broken glass
Brady, you left me hanging in the neon light
One moment felt bigger than the rest of my life
You don’t stay still, you don’t stay long
Life keeps pulling you where you don’t belong
I’ll be back at the club where the bass hits hard
Hoping you’ll find your way back to my heart
You crashed your car into a city bus
Funny how fate never asks about us
Your dreams survived, just bent and bruised
Like everything you’re scared to lose
You say Toronto’s still on your mind
Saving up for another time
I wonder if you remember me
Or if I’m just a night you leave
Brady, you left me hanging in the neon light
One moment felt bigger than the rest of my life
You don’t stay still, you don’t stay long
Life keeps pulling you where you don’t belong
So I’ll dance where we first locked eyes
Same old club, same flashing lights
If you show up, I’ll know it’s true
Some dreams wait
And maybe I’ll wait for you
