City Lights

Midnight trains and broken stations
Neon ghosts in conversations
Rain keeps falling on the avenue
Every shadow looks like you
Old cafés and empty cinemas
Silver smoke and fading glitter dust
We were fire in a photograph
Now we're strangers in the aftermath

I hear your voice through the radio waves
Like a signal I could never save

City lights and lonely hearts
Running fast but falling apart
We were kings in a world on fire
Burning higher and higher
Hold me close before we disappear
Like a dream that was never here
Lost between the dark and paradise
Dancing through the city lights

Your perfume still lives in my jacket
Like a secret I can't abandon
Every street sings your name tonight
Under blue electric signs
There's a riot in my restless mind
Love and danger walking side by side
We were rebels in a broken age
Trying to escape the cage

I hear your footsteps in the pouring rain
But the night never stays the same

City lights and lonely hearts
Running fast but falling apart
We were kings in a world on fire
Burning higher and higher
Hold me close before we disappear
Like a dream that was never here
Lost between the dark and paradise
Dancing through the city lights

Do you remember
The sound of the ocean
The world in our hands
The endless motion
We were immortal for a little while
Young satellites with reckless smiles

City lights and lonely hearts
Two lost souls in the dark
If tomorrow never comes tonight
Stay with me beneath these lights
Oh-oh-oh
We are echoes in the night
Oh-oh-oh
Still dancing through the city light
