We Were a City Lyrics

One less tale that I have read

All the writing on the wall is good as dead

Maybe one day I wanna hear those words again

Not when there's time, and no unsaid

Somewhen in time alive with you

Some say that you want it

Some say I want it, too

You call me from the station

It's raining, what you gonna do?

How long can you take it?

This is small, this is small, this is small, it ain't that bad

But by the time I reach ya

You're already had

We were a city in the lights

You've still got a sparkle in your eyes

Brother, you look down the street

We really let this place down, I mean really run down

We can only get around if we ain't down and out

How do we never black out?

I feel like we're moving

Through places out of bounds

No rhyme like the present

If only it were sound

Don't forget about me

You say as though I'm gonna one day leave

Still you'll find me right here

Would you know I even leave?

We were a city in the lights

You've still got a sparkle in your eyes

Brother, you look down the street

(Brother, you look down the street)

We really let this place down, I mean really run down

We can only get around if we ain't down and out

How do we never black out?

So many people want to know

If it's our right of way

So many streetlights they come to find

They don't go anywhere today, they're all the same

In our living room

In the lights

You've still got a sparkle in your eyes

Brother, you look down the street

(Brother, you look down the street)

(Brother, you look down the street)

We really let this place down, I mean really run down

We can only get around if we ain't down and out

(If we ain't down and out)

How do we never black out?

(We're going back to yesterday)

Falling down a hole, I'm

Buried far away, you're

(Yesterday)

Drafting up a storm, and

Far away we're forming
