Chasing City Lights 2 (wersja 2)

Verse

Cinderblock skyline cutting the air

Rust on the rail where I learned to swear

Flicker in the glass when the streetlight goes down

Neon bleeding warm through the alley walls now

No one left out here but the fireflies and me

This is my city, don't you know it's true

Every shadow casting a silhouette

I chased these streets till they gave up their name

I won't be caught sleeping in this concrete frame

Hold your breath till the sirens change tune

Pre-Chorus

We are the ghosts of the last few hours running loose

Counting down to nothing on the pavement, counting down

We don't need a map to know what's left behind

Just watch the exit signs light up one by one at a time

Let go before we catch ourselves falling back

Chorus

Run through the city with your feet on fire

Every step is leaving something higher

Burning out the clock till it turns to gold

We are running wild and free, nobody's watching us go

Run through the city like the last train in town

Catch a sunrise breaking on the concrete down

Nothing left but the smoke from our headlights fading bright

We are chasing city lights, we won't be held back tonight

Verse 2

Bare feet against broken glass and rusty steel

Watch the towers turning silver as I turn to steal

Every fire escape leading us to now

This is the only thing I ever learned to do

Hold my breath till the sirens lose their song

We are not running from what's left behind

We're chasing city lights because they shine brighter than our minds

Pre-Chorus

We are the ghosts of the last few hours running loose

Counting down to nothing on the pavement, counting down

We don't need a map to know what's left behind

Just watch the exit signs light up one by one at a time

Let go before we catch ourselves falling back

Chorus

Run through the city with your feet on fire

Every step is leaving something higher

Burning out the clock till it turns to gold

We are running wild and free, nobody's watching us go

Run through the city like the last train in town

Catch a sunrise breaking on the concrete down

Nothing left but the smoke from our headlights fading bright

We are chasing city lights, we won't be held back tonight

Bridge

Sunrise over the rooftops is not for me

I'm watching it burn while I'm running free

Hold your breath and let go of what we've lost

The only thing that matters is this moment, no cost

So keep on chasing city lights till they turn to gold

This is where the real story begins to unfold

Chorus

Run through the city with your feet on fire

Every step is leaving something higher

Burning out the clock till it turns to gold

We are running wild and free, nobody's watching us go

Run through the city like the last train in town

Catch a sunrise breaking on the concrete down

Nothing left but the smoke from our headlights fading bright

We are chasing city lights, we won't be held back tonight
