The City

Just give me a second

Before I pack up my boxes and shut you out of my life

Just give me a minute

So I can drink up the feeling we had just one last time

Your shadow stained the carpet

So I got hardwood floors

The noise punched through the window

I don't sleep anymore

We moved to the rhythm of the traffic on the street

The street

I try to dance now but I can't feel no beat

No beat

(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)

(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)

And under the sidewalks

I ride the subway 'cause I look for you in every face

Don't wanna find you, though

'Cause 8 million strangers lose their distance once you take their place

8 million bodies and they're yours and now I'm out of space

(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)

(Ah-ey-ey-ey, ah-ey-ey-ey)

There's nothing left for me

In this city anymore

But

Maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night

Maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night

And without

Your light to blind

I can see the stars at night

Windows open

Shut my eyes

Sync my resting heartbeat to the night

Without

Your light to blind

I can see the stars at night

Windows open

Shut my eyes

Sync my resting heartbeat to the quiet night

When the silence gets too loud

I'll feel you calling me home

When the silence gets too loud

I'll feel you calling me home
