london let me Lyrics

London let me fall in love and

London let me get caught up

In a little dream

That we'd last beyond six weeks

When I knew from the start, it was only a spark

Just the two of us in Regent's Park

Then I'd need to go home

And I'd leave her in Soho

London let me seal my fate because

London let me get carried away

As the midnights passed

Brick Lane to Chelsea and back

And on Tower Bridge, I fell in

As she held my wrist and touched my lips

And whispered my name

Said her place is in Highgate

4000 miles between us, and I still feel the distance

Too far away to stay in love but close enough to miss it

If I could rewind time, I'd spend one more night in Brixton

Beneath the skyline with our fingers intertwined

London let me fall too hard and

London let me scatter my heart

From up in her apartment

Down through Covent Garden

And I still can't find any peace of mind

Like what I felt on the northern line

With her head on my shoulder

Like it'd never be over

4000 miles between us, and I still feel the distance

Too far away to stay in love but close enough to miss it

If I could rewind time, I'd spend one more night in Brixton

Beneath the skyline with our fingers intertwined

And sometimes I wish I never met her

Then I wouldn't have to try to forget her

But mostly I'm happy that I get to remember

Us and how it was, before

London let me want to stay and

London let me take that train

Through the underground

Heathrow from Kentish Town

Oh, that last goodbye under platform lights

I already felt lonely as I held her tight

In the afterglow, but oh I should have known

That London would let me

London would let me go
