Intro (soft strings, gentle groove)
Him: Mm…
Her: Oh yeah…

Verse 1 (Him)
I see sirens in the distance every night,
Mama prayin’ under faded porch lights.
These streets raised me hard and fast,
Tryna survive off a broken past.
Every corner got a story to tell,
Some of ‘em heaven, most of ‘em hell.
But when I see your face so bright,
It feel like the world might turn out right.
Verse 1 (Her)
I hear gunshots in the middle of dreams,
Makes me wonder what tomorrow means.
All these boys tryna be so tough,
But underneath, they just scared of love.
I watch you walk through danger and pride,
And I just pray you make it back alive.
‘Cause behind all the streets and pain,
I still see the boy I love remain.
⸻
Chorus (Together)
We livin’ under the same streetlight,
Tryna find love in a world so cold.
Through the darkness of these city nights,
We still got hearts made of gold.
No matter how the sirens cry,
We hold on, you and I.
⸻
Verse 2 (Him)
They tell me I gotta choose a side,
Blue or red just to survive.
But I ain’t built for all this hate,
I just want a life that ain’t so late.
Every brother I lost in the rain,
Still whisperin’ my name through the pain.
But when you touch my trembling hand,
I remember who I really am.
Verse 2 (Her)
I see mothers cry on these streets,
Holdin’ photos where their babies used to be.
I don’t wanna be another name,
Another love lost to the game.
So I hold you close when the night feels wrong,
Like maybe love can make us strong.
Even when the world tries to pull us apart,
I still believe in your heart.
⸻
Chorus (Together)
We livin’ under the same streetlight,
Tryna find peace in a warzone town.
Through all the struggle and all the fights,
Love still won’t let us down.
No matter how the sirens cry,
We hold on, you and I.
⸻
Bridge (call and response)
Him: They say these streets will make a man cold…
Her: But your heart still burns like gold…
Him: They say love don’t last out here…
Her: But I feel safe when you’re near…
⸻
Final Chorus (Together)
Under the same streetlight we stand,
Dreamin’ of a better plan.
Through all the chaos and all the pain,
Love keeps callin’ our names.
If we make it through one more night,
We’ll rise into the morning light.
⸻
Outro
Him: Mm…
Her: One love…
Together: In this city…
