In The City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If it was any more clearer than it is right now
Would prolly be see-through
Wouldn't be lethal
We would still be cool
Hand over heart
If we could change the way that it all plays out
Make this go equal
This would be a sequel
But it ain't in the cards (no way)
I can't even tell you when it changed
But I'm a stranger to this place (oh)
And this used to be our town, our town
But look at it now
It ain't no love
When the lights go out in the city
It's like we're burnin' it down, it down
What’s that about?
I guess it ain't no love
When the lights go out in the city
Damn
Got me like
Oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh
Ain't no
Ain’t no lights in the city, oh
I swear I'm like
Oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh
Ain't no
Ain’t no lights in the city, damn
Funny what you remember when it all goes down
Quickly reminded
Remember you smilin'
Damn, I ain't seen that smile in a while
I miss that, baby
No lie
Wish we could go back, baby
One time, one time, but I
I know we'd never let go, ooh
I can't even tell you when it changed
But I'm a stranger to this place (oh)
And this used to be our town
Our town (our town)
But look at it now (no love)
It ain't no love
When the lights go out in the city
(Ain't no, oh, yeah, yeah)
It's like we're burnin' it down, it down
What’s that about?
I guess it ain't no love
When the lights go out in the city
Damn
Got me like
Oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh
Ain't no
Ain’t no lights in the city (no lights, woah)
I swear I'm like
Oh-woah-oh (no, no, no, no)
Oh-woah-oh (no, woah-woah)
Ain't no
Ain’t no lights in the city, damn
Swear I've tried, I've tried
Tryin' to find my way to you
Back to us
And I've tried
Oh, I've tried
Tryin' to find my way to you
Right back to us
'Cause this used to be
And this used to be our town
Our town (damn)
But look at it now
It ain't no love
When the lights go out in the city (yeah)
It's like we're burnin' it down
It down, what’s that about?
I guess it ain't no love
When the lights go out in the city
Damn, got me like
Oh-woah-oh (oh, got like)
Oh-woah-oh (yeah)
Ain't no
Ain't no lights in the city (no lights, woah)
I swear I'm like
Oh-woah-oh (no, no, no, no)
Oh-woah-oh (no, woah-woah)
Ain't no
Ain’t no lights in the city
Damn
Damn
