The Echo / Maybe Tonight Lyrics - Singles - Bleu Edmondson

The sinners and the saints and the suicide girls 

Passion into darkness and the pawnshop pearls 

One place, one time, one love, we owned the night 

And the tender souls wondered where the faith has all gone 

And the neon on Lamar came rumbling on 

We swore they wouldn't take us down without a fight 

Hopeless hearted hunters waging war on the stars 

We cheered the revolution from a rooftop bar 

And swore to one another only we could make it right 

We said 

Maybe tonight 

Maybe tonight 

Maybe tonight we can 

I remember your kiss like TNT 

How it rattled every long gone part of me 

And in the heat of the night you shook when you said my name 

And the precious drop of sweat running down your back 

Like a southbound train burning down the track 

Two martyrs in a world that would never be the same 

Among the midnight runners and the teenage stunners 

Searching for the light of day we hoped against hope we could find one voice 

To sing what we were desperate to say 

We said 

Maybe tonight 

Maybe tonight 

Maybe tonight we can 

And the tears running down your face 

Like a sad broken prophets parade 

While this dirty city sleeps tonight 

To the Gutterat serenade 

Underneath that holy streetlight 

We can take it all back again 

And it's the echo of the wounded heart in the night 

That proves we were born to win
