Yesterday I took the city with my friends
We were walking down the highest road that I'd ever been
With the sun applying tan across our faces
We were worn down to ground, but we'd seen so many places
And as the weather left to bring a new horizon
We saw buildings in the sky, we'd thought we never find them
Bodies leaving light behind us
We were the only ones left to find this
And we will go
Where nobody can find us
I'll leave you in the morning light
Holding lighters to the sky,
We'll escape into the night
And as the city soon approaches we'll get older
But none the wiser to the fact it's getting colder
And the lights begin to dim we'll go missing
Casting mannequins of people to descend within the city
So hold me like wind, it's the company I've missed
And thats the only thing.
And we will go
Where nobody can find us
I'll leave you in the morning light
Holding lighters to the sky
We'll escape into the night
And we will go
Setting sail for city
'Cause we die for ourselves
But we'll die for the chance
To be left with the girl that made it worth living.
(Ba ba da oh)
It falls into place
Like a satellite falls from grace
The city falls back to me, won't you fall back to me?
Yesterday I took the city with my friends
We were walking down the highest road that I'd ever been
With the sun applying tan across our faces
We were worn down to ground, but we'd seen so many places
