City

[Verse 1] I don't know what it is about this city Every road I walk down I discover Little pieces I thought I never had in me I never had in me I guess you knew it all along That somewhere down the darkest alley is a heartbeat Is a heartbeat You remind me And I swear that I am walking through a daydream Hear your heartbeat That's where you're gonna find me [Verse 2] Every shape and transatlantic color wrap around me I've discovered that I just want to get as far as I can run to From the sun in California I don't know how the west is ever gonna win me Once I'm breathing in the water I'm gonna drown out every sentimental memory Find the courage to start over [Chorus] Oh, I know there's got to be a reason 'Cause I'm always running from my life They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" But I don't know what it is about this city [Verse 3] Miles away someone I know is sleeping In a bedroom, by the window I guess I've always been afraid that I would miss out And get blown out like a candle And I don't know what it is about this city Every road I walk down I discover Little pieces I thought I never had in me I never had in me And it's raining here in London [Chorus] Oh, I know there's got to be a reason 'Cause I'm always running from my life They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" But I don't know what it is about this city
