When the slow parade wind passed
When it felt so good, you knew it couldn't last
All too soon the end was gonna come without a warning
And you'd have to just go home
And the wait, it all went by
Somebody said, come on, it's getting late
And you thought the world might end
If you'd just look the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed
And there's so much more that you
could see If you'd just stick around
And all the streetlight secrets whispering for you to come back out
Oh no,
there's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no,
you don't want that parade to leave you now
But now
And the days are all the same
In a town so big that no one knows your name
And the people fade away
And all the stars are just a flicker
And you're left there all alone, alone
And there's so much more that you
could see If you'd just stick around
And all the streetlight secrets whispering for you to come back out
Oh no,
there's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no,
you don't want that parade to leave you now
When the music's over But the song's chasing your head
Oh no,
there's so much more that you need to work out Oh no,
you don't want that parade to leave you now
There's so much more that you need to work out
And you don't want that parade to leave you now
