City Burns - Andra Day

The scent of momentum fills the city air

Hear the heart beat, it’s alive and draws you in

Things will never be the same

Thought I’d been here, but never here, times before

Then the roller coaster dipped and sped along no more

But I’m not in the same space '

Cause I’m hardly the woman that I once was

Now I search for the ground underneath my feet

As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh

As the city burns

As the city burns

As the city burns

Burns away

Burns away

Now it’s fancy ladies, pricey wiles, and argyle

From homemade beats, selling tee’s, and running wild

Just hope I don’t lose my head

And now I’m thinking on a dream that my sister had

Back then I was too young to see it wasn’t bad

So thanks chick, by the way '

Cause I’m hardly the woman that I once was

Now I search for the ground underneath my feet

As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh

As the city burns

As the city burns

As the city burns

Burns away

Burns away

We’re at a run right now

Before we were at a steady jog

And I’m trying to hang on to whatever I can find

Because what do you do when it’s spinning so fast

How do you stand with the world on your back

I’m hardly the woman I once was

Search for the ground underneath my feet

As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh

As the city burns

As the city burns

Ooh

Burns away

Burns away
