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
Mhm
We moved to the rhythm of the traffic on the street
The street, mhm
Mhm
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 (mhm)
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
Mmm
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, mhm
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 (maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night)
I can see the stars at night
Windows open, shut my eyes (maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night)
Sync my resting heartbeat to the night
Without your light to blind (silence gets too loud)
I can see the stars at night
Windows open, shut my eyes (maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night)
Sync my resting heartbeat to the night
Without your light to blind (maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night)
I can see the stars at night
Windows open, shut my eyes (silence gets too loud)
Sync my resting heartbeat to the quiet night
Silence gets too loud
I feel you calling me home
When the silence gets too loud
I feel you calling me home
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
Mhm
We moved to the rhythm of the traffic on the street
The street, mhm
Mhm
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 (mhm)
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
Mmm
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, mhm
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 (maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night)
I can see the stars at night
Windows open, shut my eyes (maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night)
Sync my resting heartbeat to the night
Without your light to blind (silence gets too loud)
I can see the stars at night
Windows open, shut my eyes (maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night)
Sync my resting heartbeat to the night
Without your light to blind (maybe I'll finally get some sleep at night)
I can see the stars at night
Windows open, shut my eyes (silence gets too loud)
Sync my resting heartbeat to the quiet night
Silence gets too loud
I feel you calling me home
When the silence gets too loud
I feel you calling me home
