[Verse 1]

When the slow parade went past

When it felt so good you knew it couldn't last

And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning

And you'd have to just go home

[Verse 2]

And the way it all went by

And somebody said come on, it's getting late

And you thought the world might end

If you just looked the other way

And now you wish that you had stayed

[Chorus]

And there's so much more that

You could see if you just stick around

And all the street light secrets

Whispering for you to come back out

Oh no, there's so much more

That you need to work out

Oh no, and you don't want

That parade to leave you now, not now

[Verse 3]

And the days are all the same

In a town so big and no one knows your name

And the people fade away

And all the stars are just a flicker

And you're left there all alone

[Chorus]

And there's so much more that

You could see if you just stick around

And all the street light secrets

Whispering for you to come back out

Oh no, there's so much more

That you need to work out

Oh no, and you don't want

That parade to leave you now

[Bridge]

When the music's over

But the song stays in your head

[Outro]

Oh no, there's so much more

That you need to work out

Oh no, and you don't want

That parade to leave you now

Yeah, well there's so much more that

You need to work out

Yeah, and you don't want

That parade to leave you now
