| I turn around to see you
|
| But the color of the city lights
|
| Make everything so hazy
|
| I’m trying to believe you
|
| But it hurts to hear you say
|
| That the city has changed us
|
| Remember the nights when we’d lie out right on the pavement?
|
| Staring up as we watched the stars dance across the evening sky
|
| And why did we move away from the quiet country?
|
| Trading rubber and rust for rubble and dust
|
| As we fade away underneath the city lights
|
| Are we fading away underneath the city lights?
|
| Are we fading away underneath the city lights?
|
| And how did it come to this?
|
| We left a happy home for this
|
| Where the roof and the walls of that old house
|
| Were pieces of us, but now
|
| The night sky burns street light to street light
|
| From your eyes run tears of a past life
|
| In a pool of memories on the floor
|
| Remember the nights when we’d lie out right on the pavement?
|
| Staring up as we watched the stars dance across the evening sky
|
| And why did we move away from the quiet country?
|
| Trading rubber and rust for rubble and dust
|
| As we fade away underneath the city lights
|
| Are we fading away underneath the city lights?
|
| Are we fading away underneath the city lights?
|
| We were just kids livin' a small town growin' too quick
|
| And our hearts set on leavin' it
|
| We left home runnin' with our hands clasped tight
|
| But somewhere along the lines we lost sight
|
| And now we’re two strangers runnin' lost in a big town
|
| The bright lights, they inspire you when the sun goes down
|
| Where do they lead you now?
|
| Where do they lead you now?
|
| Remember the nights when we’d lie out right on the pavement?
|
| Staring up as we watched the stars dance across the evening sky
|
| And why did we move away from the quiet country?
|
| Trading rubber and rust for rubble and dust
|
| As we fade away underneath the city lights
|
| Underneath the city lights
|
| Underneath the city lights
|
| As we’re fading away underneath the city lights |
