RAYE - Nightingale Lane. Lyrics

Pop

Nightingale Lane.

Lyrics

This is a song about the greatest heartbreak I have ever known

This song is called Nightingale Lane

On a street in the South London suburbs

Where my first love kissed me goodbye

His lips were thin, and beer-stained and tear-stained (Thin, beer-stained)

Was a pain that made me colder now

After the oceans I cried, I'm made of steel

Just floating now, mmm, mmm

But when I drive (When I drive)

Down this road (Down this, ooh)

I reminisce (Lose my mind)

I drive slow

I've let him go now (I, I)

Just see a ghost town

And sometimes

At red lights

With closed eyes

I tell myself

I dare myself

To go on, just say it

Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)

And someday, somebody will again

Like the way you loved me

On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane)

Although we never made it

Stranger, you showed me it's true

I'm capable of loving someone

The way I loved you

It was right there (And it was)

Early June (Right next to)

Next to old Park Avenue

On Nightingale Lane

Standing in the rain

I watched him walk away

Took me long, hard years to get over you

It was an aching I refuse to feel again

And looking back now

We never were quite right for each other, baby

But in the absence of passion in my life

I remember how alive

Love once was and I sigh (When I drive)

But when I drive (When I drive)

Down this road (Down this road)

I reminisce

I drive slow

I've let him go now (I, I)

Just see a ghost town

And sometimes

At red lights

With closed eyes

I tell myself, in fact I dare myself

To go on, just say It

Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)

And someday, somebody will again

Like the way you loved me

On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane)

And though we never made it

Stranger, you showed me it's true

I'm capable of loving someone

The way I loved you

It was right there (And it was)

In June (Right next to)

Next to old Park Avenue

On Nightingale Lane

Standing in the rain

I watched him walk away

I've, I've dabbled in love since

Maybe every other summer

It never lasts long

They never stick around

I'm made of steel now (I'm made of steel)

I believe someday

Someone will come along

And knock them walls down

When I drive

Down this road

I'm reminded though

I've let him go now

Right here in this ghost town

Right here on this ground is where

Someone once loved me

And someday, someone will again

Someone will

I know, I know it, I know it

Someone will love me

Like the way you loved me

On Nightingale Lane

This is a song about the greatest heartbreak I have ever known
 This song is called Nightingale Lane
 On a street in the South London suburbs
 Where my first love kissed me goodbye
 His lips were thin, and beer-stained and tear-stained (Thin, beer-stained)
 Was a pain that made me colder now
 After the oceans I cried, I'm made of steel
 Just floating now, mmm, mmm
 But when I drive (When I drive)
 Down this road (Down this, ooh)
 I reminisce (Lose my mind)
 I drive slow
 I've let him go now (I, I)
 Just see a ghost town
 And sometimes
 At red lights
 With closed eyes
 I tell myself
 I dare myself
 To go on, just say it
 Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)
 And someday, somebody will again
 Like the way you loved me
 On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane)
 Although we never made it
 Stranger, you showed me it's true
 I'm capable of loving someone
 The way I loved you
 It was right there (And it was)
 Early June (Right next to)
 Next to old Park Avenue
 On Nightingale Lane
 Standing in the rain
 I watched him walk away
 Took me long, hard years to get over you
 It was an aching I refuse to feel again
 And looking back now
 We never were quite right for each other, baby
 But in the absence of passion in my life
 I remember how alive
 Love once was and I sigh (When I drive)
 But when I drive (When I drive)
 Down this road (Down this road)
 I reminisce
 I drive slow
 I've let him go now (I, I)
 Just see a ghost town
 And sometimes
 At red lights
 With closed eyes
 I tell myself, in fact I dare myself
 To go on, just say It
 Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)
 And someday, somebody will again
 Like the way you loved me
 On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane)
 And though we never made it
 Stranger, you showed me it's true
 I'm capable of loving someone
 The way I loved you
 It was right there (And it was)
 In June (Right next to)
 Next to old Park Avenue
 On Nightingale Lane
 Standing in the rain
 I watched him walk away
 I've, I've dabbled in love since
 Maybe every other summer
 It never lasts long
 They never stick around
 I'm made of steel now (I'm made of steel)
 I believe someday
 Someone will come along
 And knock them walls down
 And knock them walls down
 When I drive
 Down this road
 I'm reminded though
 I've let him go now
 Right here in this ghost town
 Right here on this ground is where
 Someone once loved me
 And someday, someone will again
 Someone will
 I know, I know it, I know it
 Someone will love me
 Like the way you loved me
 On Nightingale Lane
