City Lights - Andy Kong

I turn around to see you

But the color of the city lights

Make everything so hazy

I’m trying to believe you

But it hurts to hear you say

That the city has changed us

Remember the nights when we’d lie out right on the pavement?

Staring up as we watched the stars dance across the evening sky

And why did we move away from the quiet country?

Trading rubber and rust for rubble and dust

As we fade away underneath the city lights

Are we fading away underneath the city lights?

Are we fading away underneath the city lights?

And how did it come to this?

We left a happy home for this

Where the roof and the walls of that old house

Were pieces of us, but now

The night sky burns street light to street light

From your eyes run tears of a past life

In a pool of memories on the floor

Remember the nights when we’d lie out right on the pavement?

Staring up as we watched the stars dance across the evening sky

And why did we move away from the quiet country?

Trading rubber and rust for rubble and dust

As we fade away underneath the city lights

Are we fading away underneath the city lights?

Are we fading away underneath the city lights?

We were just kids livin' a small town growin' too quick

And our hearts set on leavin' it

We left home runnin' with our hands clasped tight

But somewhere along the lines we lost sight

And now we’re two strangers runnin' lost in a big town

The bright lights, they inspire you when the sun goes down

Where do they lead you now?

Where do they lead you now?

Remember the nights when we’d lie out right on the pavement?

Staring up as we watched the stars dance across the evening sky

And why did we move away from the quiet country?

Trading rubber and rust for rubble and dust

As we fade away underneath the city lights

Underneath the city lights

Underneath the city lights

As we’re fading away underneath the city lights
