City Lights Lyrics

Why do I get up each day

Before the moon's gone away

I still hope against the flood

I've hoped before, I've hoped a ton

Minutes, days, and years have gone

And now, hope is all I've got

What's the point of all the fuss

All pain, no gain, without a cause

I have plans and I have dreams

I was meant for bigger things

The stars above are calling me

The city lights cover them

Them

Get me out of here

This isn't where I belong

This city feels wrong

It is getting hard to breathe

It feels as if I'm drowning

I have plans and I have dreams

Maybe this isn't my place

I just need to get some space

Between here and me

Get me out of here

This isn't where I belong

This city feels wrong

Streetlights in the winter

Dancing through the fog

Freeze in the blizzards

Breathe in the smog

You see

Here the streets are dim and dark

Eyes all wide and hearts all bent

Their faces stare in the park

Please, don't let me

Please, don't let me

Pay tomorrow's rent
