[Intro]
Soft wind along the old block, a memory hums in the air
[Verse 1]
I was a kid with sneakers squeaking on the cracked parade
Skipping stones by the curb, chasing cats through sunlit shade
Front porch lights like planets in a doorway of our town
Laughter spilled from unseen rooms, a map we wore upside down
[Pre-Chorus]
If I close my eyes, the colors find a way to stay
[Chorus]
On this street I learned to fly in tiny, hopeful ways
On this street I found the proof of home in brighter days
On this street the world slowed down to kiss the bell of my days
[Verse 2]
Bike bells, chalk-lined hoops, a mailbox with a secret name
Sprinklers singing rhythm to the summers we called late
We traded dreams for ice cream cones and pockets full of stars
Every corner held a story that saved us from growing apart
[Pre-Chorus]
If I close my eyes, the colors find a way to stay
[Chorus]
On this street I learned to fly in tiny, hopeful ways
On this street I found the proof of home in brighter days
On this street the world slowed down to kiss the bell of my days
[Bridge]
Some days I wander back, the asphalt whispers your face to me
A chorus of childhood echoes, long shadows where we used to be
[Chorus]
On this street I learned to fly in tiny, hopeful ways
On this street I found the proof of home in brighter days
On this street the world slowed down to kiss the bell of my days
[Outro]
Past the corners where our laughter lives, I still hear your voice in the breeze
This street keeps the songs we carried home, a bedtime prayer of memories
