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
