lyrics

Cover my ears from the sound
That fill these crowded streets
In a city that doesn't sleep

Summer, think I'd find relief
From the pouring rain
From my soaking sheets

Pulsing beats shake these walls
Lights flickering
And I want to make new friends
But it's time to go, I'm leaving

This city's got a grip on me
Collapsing day by day
The impossible feels so possible

Tonight
This city can breathe new life
To a broken heart
No longer torn apart
By broken dreams, broken love
It happens over and over again
This city can give you a start
It's all apart of the chances that you take

Move over and find your own way
Through the hustle day by day
Can't stop, I just keep pace
My world is caught in a twist of fate
Everything's at stake
It's okay I'm fine
I'm in the city by the lake

Tonight
This city can breathe new life
To a broken heart
No longer torn apart
By broken dreams, broken love
It happens over and over again
This city can give you a start
It's all apart of the chances that you take

Should I come apart
(over and over again)
I know this city can give you a start
This city can give you a new start
