City Lights

(álbum: Little Stranger - 2011)

[Verse 1]
Running through the nights
The city lights and my shame
Heart inscribed empty and unsure
On a gravestone missing letters of my name
The people who bring poppies
Walked away with everything I had
They come to see me only out of guilt to find themselves
Be understanding and everything

[Chorus]
So here I go
Giving you everything and all of me
Spirit chained in tow
Don't let me hide
Giving you everything
The whole of me that I hold onto inside
Here I go
Here I go

[Verse 2]
Bare feet on paua shells, I am the sea
It's me alongside my waves
But then we're diving off the rocks
My head spins, my body locks
And this is all I am right now anyway
The people who surround me
They control everything, all that I am
And I keep thinking did I miss that time to find myself
Be understanding and everything

[Chorus]
So here I go
Giving you everything and all of me
Spirit chained in tow
Don't let me hide
Giving you everything
The whole of me that I hold onto inside
Here I go
Here I go

Oh, here I go
Giving you everything and all of me
Spirit chained in tow
Don't let me hide
Giving you everything
The whole of me that I hold onto inside

Here I go
Giving you everything and all of me
Spirit chained in tow
Don't let me hide
Giving you everything
The whole of me that I hold onto inside
Here I go
Here I go
Here I go
Here I go
