Foreign Cities Lyrics

When I woke up, grabbed my keys and wiped the smile from my lips

Surveyed the carnage around me, how do we escape from this?

When I came back to church, confessing all my sins

All I wanted was your forgiveness, for you to let me in

I'm always breaking my heart now

I see you, but blind myself somehow

What a cop-out

Can you see me here?

In a foreign city, there's nothing that hits me like you, dear

Can you see me falling?

All our friends know that you're out there, finding love on the road

When you woke up, grabbed my arm and told me 'I'm not gonna change'

It was the least surprising anecdote, the cycle's starting again

I'm always taking the worst parts

And writing every word into a song

I know you know this one

Can you see me here?

In a foreign city, there's nothing that hits me like you, dear

Can you see me falling?

All our friends know that you're out there, finding love

Can you save me now?

I'm falling, or give me a second to look down

You need your hands to wash all of the dirty words out

On and on, all on your own, your head's up in the clouds
