City Lights

City lights awake

City lights awake

City lights don't you see them

Laying here straight cold

Wondering if this is getting old

My head is far too soft for this pillow

The lights stream through the seems

Of my painted room, the beams

They don't seem to blind me

No stars or moon in my reach

I guess I'll have to keep hope

For those city lights

They're the only thing that's bright

The power behind what so quickly removes dark

We sit below it, we don't even know it

It's not just stars

Oh it's all so much to take

But for my eyes sake

I'll let them shine bright

No stars or moon in my reach

I guess I'll have to keep hope

For those city lights

They're the only thing that's bright

This is where my room will stay

So I'll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights

This is where my room will stay

So I'll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights awake

The stars above are bright, but not like those city lights

Your heart drops like a stone, but you seem to feel indifferent

City lights, city lights, city lights awake
