city lights

Lyrics

i'm gonna take my time next time i'm in your city, im gonna take my time next time i'm in your ear, how we dance and call the lights that fall so pretty, i'm gonna take my time and hold you in my hands, i'm gonna give my thanks for everything you've shown me, i'm gonna pull those strings you dangle from the sky, though ive never been so humble and the starts they often crumble, i'm gonna take my time and hold you in my heart, and the city lights, look so damn pretty, lying there beneath the starts, i'm feeling like my dreams don't seem to be so far away, the city lights look so damn pretty, i can hold them in my hands, i'm feeling like i just became a better man, we paint upon our faces what we're wanting, we tie our shoes and wear the clothes we hope to be, and for everything we know, there's excuses that we show, and i cant blame you if you want to walk away, and the city lights, look so damn pretty, lying there beneath the starts, i'm feeling like my dreams don't seem to be so far away, the city lights look so damn pretty, i can hold them in my hands, i'm feeling like i just became a better man, if we could go to sleep and wake in new york city, if we could feel the sands the tides that be la, you know that everything is written in this pavement, the very notion is what fuels the getaway, and the city lights, look so damn pretty, lying there beneath the starts, i'm feeling like my dreams don't seem to be so far away, the city lights look so damn pretty, i can hold them in my hands, i'm feeling like i just became a better man
