These Streets
Bastille Lyrics
These streets are yours, you can keep them
I don't want them
They pull me back, and I surrender
To the memories I run from
Oh, we have paved these streets
With moments of defeat
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
I won't show my face here anymore
These streets are yours, you can keep them
In my mind it's like you haunt them
And passing through, I think I see you
In the shapes of other women
Oh we have stained these walls
With our mistakes and flaws
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
All that's left behind
Is a shadow on my mind
All that's left behind
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore

“We’ll walk upon these streets and think of little elves”
Cynical Scorpio
I actually used to think these were the lyrics
jonathan dreher
Swear to God I thought of that the first time I've heard it and now I can't ever unhear it lol
This is not a song about post breakup, this is a song about Santa's Little helpers
