City Lights from Homeless Youth by Neither Could Dylan
((ABOUT))
Now on the streets of San Francisco late into the night, we’re struggling to find the words to express to someone we love deeply that we know our time together is coming to an end. Regrettably, despite our affection being so strong, we know that we will never be able to give them the type of love and care that they rightly deserve. With nothing left to say, selfishly the song stretches on for as long as we can convince our love to stay to enjoy these last moments together. One of us is dying, but it's unclear which.

Lyrics
((LYRICS))
My words break the silence,
Scatterbrained and misaligned
"Is this how you imagined,
is this how you imagined tonight?"
Between streetcars and City Lights
Now for the sake of brevity
I guess that I miss everything
Love like a swarm of fireflies
Lost beneath polluted skies
I know I could have tried
I know
I could have tried
I don’t know where we go from here
But I know what you deserve
Our plans at odds from the start
I was never meant to hurt your heart
I hold you close and squeeze your hand
Try, my love, to understand
Whether we’re meant and meet again
I will love you ‘til the end
I will love you ‘til the end
Don’t say goodnight
Don’t say goodnight
It’s not time
Don’t say goodnight
It’s not time
Don’t say goodnight
It’s not time
It’s not time
Don’t say
Don’t say goodnight
‘Cause it’s not time

Affectionately dubbed Canadian Punkabilly, Neither Could Dylan nods to the philosophic musings of Bob Dylan, the tranquillic introspection of Death Cab For Cutie and the immersive melodic stylings of Jimmy Eat World while noting you’re unlikely to sit the band's quickly growing discography beside any of those artists in a record store.
Sometimes it’s easier to just give it a listen.
