"Streetlight" lyrics

If I were a traffic light
I'd work all day and all night
Shine down my red, yellow, and green
On the feverish world under me

Come what may, may whatever comes
It's just not enough

Time was when you were the cure
For all the suffering I've endured
I was low, you floated above
You gifted and lifted me up

With the grace to face whatever
It's just not enough

Love ain't a diamond
It's just no dream
It's never been easy, it's not always clean
No, love ain't a diamond you find in the rough
Love is just love, just barely enough
Love is just love, just barely enough

If I were a street light
I'd stand all day work all night
Shine down my amber alone
On the slumbering world down below

Come what may, may whatever comes
It wasn't enough

And if you were absinthe and wine
Real wormwood that's so hard to find
I'd keep you and savor the taste
Every time, always
Come what may, may whatever comes
Is never enough

Love ain't a diamond
It's just no dream
It's never been easy, it's not always clean
No, love ain't a diamond you find in the rough
Love is just love, just barely enough
Love is just love, just barely enough

If I were a traffic light
I'd work all day and all night
Shine down my red, yellow, and green
To the feverish world under me

Come what may, may whatever comes
Bring medicine love
Medicine love
Medicine love
Bring medicine love
