City Nights

(album: Ride - 2023)

When we were young, thought we had nothing to lose
Stupid words we say and the things we do
Saying, "So what if I, so what if I bruise?"
But no one tells you the bruises bleed right through

It's like you never left. Your perfume in the corridor
After all this time still not ready to let you go

Bring back the city nights
Back when it was you and I
'Cause over and over and over I'm thinking
I still need you, I'm still missing
The Friday nights
With nowhere to go, but we would drive all night
'Cause over and over and over I'm breaking
While he holds you, I'm still missing you
Still thinking 'bout you, oh, oh
And I know, and I know I'm not over it
'Cause I still need you, I'm still missing
The city nights

Now looking back on all the little things that you did
I never noticed you, and I'm sorry for this
Oh, oh
So what if I, so what if I call?
Would my arms be better than his to take you home?
Yeah, yeah

It's like you never left. Your perfume in the corridor
After all this time still not ready to let you go, let you go

Bring back the city nights
Back when it was you and I
'Cause over and over and over I'm thinking
I still need you, I'm still missing
The Friday nights
With nowhere to go, but we would drive all night
'Cause over and over and over I'm breaking
While he holds you, I'm still missing you
Still thinking 'bout you
Oh, oh
And I know, and I know I'm not over it
'Cause I still need you, I'm still missing
The city nights

Ay, ay, the city nights
Ay, ay, the city nights
Oh, all the city nights
So why

When the party is done, no one left in the room
Why am I still always looking for you?

And those city nights
Ay
Back when it was you and I
Ay
'Cause over and over and over I'm thinking
I still need you, I'm still missing
The Friday nights
With nowhere to go, but we would drive all night
'Cause over and over and over I'm breaking
While he holds you, I'm still missing you
Still thinking 'bout you
Oh, oh
And I know, and I know I'm not over it
'Cause I still need you, I'm still missing
The city nights
