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
