[Verse 1]
Another boy in this city
Whose eyes are closed but wide awake while he is sleeping
Another unconscious decision
Just wanders round and round and round till something hits him
[Pre-Chorus]
The city speaks all through the night
All through the day, just listen tight
To the words it's softly speaking
Dance all alone in the moonlight
Away from street lights, out of sight
Neighbours' music almost reaching
[Chorus]
So, open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen?
And wise beyond its years
You know, it's never looked so pretty
Hey, it's always been the home that you've been missing
When you close your eyes
Do you still see it?
When you close your eyes?
[Verse 2]
And footsteps echo on the pavements
Beneath my feet
I watch each one replace the other
Avoiding cracks for entertainment
An empty street greets me, reflecting every colour
[Pre-Chorus]
The city speaks all through the night
All through the day, just listen tight
To the words it's softly speaking
Dance all alone in the moonlight
Away from street lights, out of sight
Neighbours' music almost reaching
[Chorus]
So, open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen?
And wise beyond its years
You know, it's never looked so pretty
Hey, it's always been the home that you've been missing
When you close your eyes
Do you still see it?
When you close your eyes?
[Bridge]
The morning sun's another friend of mine
Hello, tomorrow
3:51, just right on time
Lifting through the shadow
A simple picture, parts are gritty
But we stand beside her
And hear the whisper of your city
Speak a little louder
[Chorus]
So, open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen?
And wise beyond its years
You know, it's never looked so pretty
Hey, it's always been the home that you've been missing
[Chorus]
So, open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen?
And wise beyond its years
You know, it's never looked so pretty
Hey, it's always been the home that you've been missing
[Chorus]
Open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen?
And wise beyond its years
You know, it's never looked so pretty
Hey, it's always been the home that you've been missing
When you close your eyes
Do you still see it?
When you close your eyes?
