The City

It was the summer of 2018
And you were just about to graduate
My eyeliner was all over your face

Fucking in a stranger's living room
Intoxicated by your cheap perfume
That was the night I fell in love with you

But you've got bets on other horses
Fighting your familial forces
I've been through all of this shit before

Stuck in your romance triangle
Too much pain for me to handle
I'll do what I do and hit the floor

So take me back to the city lights
Back when we were running wild
Maybe you can stay the night
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do

I'm coming back to the city
(City, city, city)
This time we can do it right
So what you wanna do?
So what you wanna do?

I take some time off to work on myself
You really fucked over my mental health
It was the lowest that I've ever felt

But I still see you on the internet
And find your features on a stranger's head
You got that loving that's too good to forget, forget

Paralysed by the inaction
Terrified of your reaction
Why can't I just make the grey text blue?

Truth can be stranger than fiction
Your pleasure is my addiction
So hold on babe, I'm coming back to you

So take me back to the city lights
Back when we were running wild
Maybe you can stay the night
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do

I'm coming back to the city
(City, city, city)
This time we can do it right
So what you wanna do?
So what you wanna do?

The drama, the heartache, the fighting, the pain
You break me to pieces and call it a game
I saw you last weekend, I still feel the same
Still get chills whenever you say my name

Flashback to when I first met you
Let's see what two years apart do
You've grown up, I guess I have too

No matter where I go, no matter what I do
All roads lead to you

Back to the city lights
Back when we were running wild
Maybe you can stay the night
Do what you wanna do
Do what you wanna do

I'm coming back to the city
(City, city, city)
This time we can do it right
So what you wanna do?
So what you wanna do?
