Lyrics The New Cities

The New Cities

Lost In City Lights

I met you on a stormy weekend

You never meant to draw the line

I saw you once, you didn’t smile

Thought you needed my advice

But didn’t know it at the time

I called you in the dead of winter

You didn’t even hold the line

I’ve seen it all, the great decline

One more troubled state of mine

What’s so wrong? Why can’t you even try?

Hear me out now, a thousand miles ‘round

That the sound of strangers breaking new ground

It’s the breakdown of a lifetime

Here we go now falling of the straight line

Lost in city lights

I know all about your little secrets

I’ve felt the chills and your regrets

I heard ‘em all, yeah through the wall

While you never had a clue

And if you knew, what would you do?

Hear me out now, a thousand miles ‘round

That the sound of strangers breaking new ground

It’s the breakdown of a lifetime

Here we go now falling of the straight line

I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming, we’re dreaming

Falling back in the days you were doing all right

If you’re set in your ways then you fade out of sight

When at first it felt wrong it soon became right

Now the cracks on the wall were a map of your life

The addiction is back and it’s heavy this time

Now you’re talking to the voices through the wall

Will you make it this time?

Hear me out now, a thousand miles ‘round

That the sound of strangers breaking new ground

It’s the breakdown of a lifetime

Here we go now falling of the straight line

Cause I don’t wanna know

That’s the sound of strangers breaking new ground

Lost in city lights

Here we go now falling of the straight line
