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.

It's such a cold night

Wondering through paradise

But this paradise is not what it seems

It's just like anything else

You see all the time

See all these strangers around me

Even though I don't look at them

They're looking at me

It feels like I'm in a different world

And it doesn't feel the same

Someone (Someone)

Please just (Just)

Get me out of here

Because I (I)

Feel afraid (Afraid)

When I don't know where I'm going

Somebody take me away from this City

I'm getting lost, lost in this city of lights

Feel like I'm fading away in to this City

Fading to where I can never get out

I don't wanna be the one who cries

When I know I can't take care of myself

I don't wanna sleep in the dark alleys

Because I would be just so afraid

Even with getting home is on my mind

And I know that I'm wasting my time

Somebody take me away from the City

Take me from the city to my home

Flaaoooo yeah, yeah

A girl can get lost

Lost in these deep city lights

Sure, it's all fascinating

But once you're lost trying to find your home

It can be so frightening

Aren't you trying to find me?

Aren't you atleast wondering where I am

Home is a place where I'd rather be

So you just gotta see

That you can't get through anything easily

Someone (Someone)

Please just (Just)

Get me out of here (I feel)

Because I (I)

Feel afraid (Afraid)

When I don't know where I'm going (Oooooh ooooh)

Somebody take me away from this City (Take me away)

I'm getting lost, lost in this city of lights (Ohhhhh)

Feel like I'm fading away in to this City

Fading to where I can never get out (Oh-oh-oh)

I don't wanna be the one who cries (I don't wanna be the one)

When I know I can't take care of myself

I don't wanna sleep in the dark alleys (Oh, I don't wanna)

Because I would be just so afraid

Even with getting home is on my mind (Take me home)

And I know that I'm wasting my time

Somebody take me away from the City

Take me from the city to my home (Take me from the city)

Take me, home

Hold me in your arms, again

Take me, home

Get me out of this place yeah

Take me, home

Da da, da da da

I have no reason to be gone

There is nothing to hold on

Don't wanna be by myself

Don't wanna be surrounded

By people I don't know

Aren't you trying to find me?

Won't you please take hoooooome

Wondering through paradise

But this paradise is not what it seems

It's just like anything else

You see all the time

All of the time

Ooh woah

Someone (Someone)

Please just (Just)

Get me out of here (Somebody)

Somebody take me away from this City (Ohhhhhhhh)

I'm getting lost, lost in this city of lights (Oh-oh)

Feel like I'm fading away in to this City (City of lights)

Fading to where I can never get out

I don't wanna be the one who cries (I don't wanna sleep in the dark alleys)

When I know I can't take care of myself (By myself)

I don't wanna sleep in the dark alleys (I don't wanna be the one who cries)

Because I would be just so afraid (Even with)

Even with getting home is on my mind

And I know that I'm wasting my time (Somebody take me away)

Somebody take me away from the City (To my home)

Take me from the city to my home

Somebody take me away from this City (Heyyyyyyyy! )

(I'm getting lost, lost in this city of lights)

(Feel like I'm fading away in to this City)

Fading to where I can never get out (oooooooh)

I don't wanna be the one who cries (And I)

(When I know I can't take care of myself)

I don't wanna sleep in the dark alleys (Flaooooo yeah)

(Because I would be just so afraid)

(Even with getting home is on my mind)

And I know that I'm wasting my time (Take me away from the city)

(Somebody take me away from the City)

(Take me from the city to my home)

I'm lost in this city of lights.
