(Staring at the) City Lights (Acoustic Version)

Another midnight rolls around
Shadows on the ground, all in shades of blue
Looking over on the right, a million tiny lights
I don't wanna have to change
The way that I behave, 'cause you don't understand
So don't regret the word good bye, you didn't even try

Time and life is running out of romance
As I do my best to do my best and hope that it's enough
Time and life is running out of romance
It's tough

Staring at the City Lights
As I try to get some credit for a heart that's so in debt
Am I wrong or am I right?
It's getting harder to forgive, even harder to forget
Staring at the City Lights

Another night has come and gone
Still the same old song, another 3am
Tell myself it's just a stage, and turn another page
The air out here is still and cold
And the lights are made of gold, science shimmering
Physicality's sublime, it gets me every time

And oh I feel the world is getting colder
So I do my best to do my best and try to be the change
But you just made the world a little colder
It's strange

Staring at the City Lights
Contemplating my direction, have I wasted all my time?
Am I wrong or am I right?
It's myself I'm second-guessing, asking where to draw the line
Staring at the City Lights

There's got to be
More there for me
I can't keep, swingin' from the gallows
Day in day out
So racked with doubt
I feel I'm, drowning in the shallows

I don't wanna have to change
The way that I behave, 'cause you don't understand
So don't regret the word good bye, you didn't even try

Staring at the City Lights
As I try to get some credit for a heart that's so in debt
Am I wrong or am I right?
It's getting harder to forgive, even harder to forget
Staring at the City Lights
Contemplating my direction, have I wasted all my time
Am I wrong or am I right?
It's myself I'm second-guessing, asking where to draw the line
Staring at the City Lights
