city

Lyrics

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, 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, 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, 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, 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
