Darkest Street Lyrics by Fitz and The Tantrums

Songs for a Break Up, Volume 1

2009

[Verse 1]
I'm asking you why, oh why
Can't we be together
'Cause I really don't understand
And you could go cry, and cry on forever
I really don't understand
You and me
'Cause we should be
Together

[Pre-Chorus]
Our house is not a home
If I'm living here alone
And I'm standing looking down, looking down
On the street below

[Chorus]
Cars broken down
My baby cries
Without a sound
All the lights
Get taken down
On the darkest street
In town

[Verse 2]
I'm asking you why, oh why
Can't we be forever
'Cause I really don't understand
And we gonna try and try
To keep it together
'Cause I really don't understand
You and me
'Cause we should be
Forever

[Pre-Chorus]
Our house is not a home
If I'm living here alone
And I'm standing looking down, looking down
On the street below

[Chorus]
Cars broken down
My baby cries
Without a sound
All the lights
Get taken down
On the darkest street
In town

[Saxophone solo]

[Chorus]
All the lights
Get taken down
On the darkest street
In town
