Lyrics

City Lights

I?m taking the long way on the subway down to times square
Where the lights are like a carousel on Christmas eve
Or usually they are, but tonight the dark has dawned
And your a pawn in their fade

One night on the harbor, why I bother
When all I do is wonder where you are
And why these tears shine like the sea
Alone, don?t go, alone with the lights

Or so I?m led to believe

And the city lights, they are dimming
While inside my head I am dreaming
And the city lights, they are dimming
While inside my head I am singing

There?s not enough liberty in this city to put this heart to rest
And end the torture that you give me, that you gave me
At Rockafellar, rockafellar, rockafellar center

Or so I?m led to believe

And the city lights, they are dimming
While inside my head I am dreaming
And the city lights, they are dimming
While inside my head I am singing for you

Well all you came for, and all you saw
Now?s what your blamed for and why you crawl
And I was crossing a sea of awe
Though it wasn?t obvious to you at all
But sometimes you gotta live
Sometimes you gotta live, and that?s all

All you became to me is less important than how you maintain to breathe at two in the morning
Your how I maintain to breathe at two in the morning
That?s what you became to me
