Lyrics

The first time that I saw you
You were waiting for the train
Your body like a shadow slipped away
In a bright display of color
And the tunnel swept me under
And the last thing I remember was your face
And I hoped you would appear
In some old movie theater chair
Some old vinyl backbooth diner way downtown
And I watched for you in windows
Sprayed your name across cement walls
In parking lots when no one was around
And the city lights they shine like silver
And the city lights they shine like gold
I'm holding out for something better
What it is, I don't know
The second time I saw you
You were running in the rain
Ducked back into a Chinese restaurant
And I drove around the block
Cursed the lights, double parked
Found only an old scarf that you forgot
And I wore it that whole winter
Hoped you'd see me in the street
And your eye would catch and suddenly you'd know
A glance inside the subway
The central station bustling
And two strangers locking eyes above it all
And the city lights they shine like silver
And the city lights they shine like gold
I'm holding out for something better
What it is, I don't know
And I'm alright if you're asking
I'm just tired and I'm just stoned
And the city lights are a constellation
And your upturned face is what I'm looking for
And I came around the corner on a bitter Saturday
A flower stand and trash cans on the curb
I bought a cup of coffee from a man who never saw me
Turned around and raised it up and there you were
And my heart escaped my body
Flew right up and disappeared
And I thought that I might lose you in the crowd
But you crossed the street and suddenly your voice was in my ear
Saying don't I know your face from somewhere else
And the city lights they shine like silver
And the city lights they shine like gold
I'm holding out for something better
What it is, I don't know
I'm holding out for something better
What it is, I don't know
