lyrics
All my life, I knew inside,
my one true love is the city.
I stay so long, that my roots had grown,
into the cracks of the concrete.
I used to stay up all night, worshipping the skyline,
making love to strangers to pass the time,
feeling that the best, the best was yet to come,
mistakes were always made, but here they didn’t count.
[METROPOLIS] the only home,
[METROPOLIS] that I wanted to know.
[METROPOLIS] all lonely hearts belong,
[METROPOLIS] we’ll come together.
For every hour, of everyday,
it lets me feel something.
Crowded with life, it keeps me alive,
it’s how loneliness understands me.
Oh I learned happiness here, and how to be alone,
and how to take it in before the moment goes.
Written in space, written in the lines,
the lines on my face and story of my life.
I wanted answers to know if its worth the fight,
I wanted permanence, but nothing is in this life,
and all my courage couldn’t make all seem clear...
If dreams are strangers, maybe I’ll find one here.
City lights...keeps me alive.
my one true love is the city.
I stay so long, that my roots had grown,
into the cracks of the concrete.
I used to stay up all night, worshipping the skyline,
making love to strangers to pass the time,
feeling that the best, the best was yet to come,
mistakes were always made, but here they didn’t count.
[METROPOLIS] the only home,
[METROPOLIS] that I wanted to know.
[METROPOLIS] all lonely hearts belong,
[METROPOLIS] we’ll come together.
For every hour, of everyday,
it lets me feel something.
Crowded with life, it keeps me alive,
it’s how loneliness understands me.
Oh I learned happiness here, and how to be alone,
and how to take it in before the moment goes.
Written in space, written in the lines,
the lines on my face and story of my life.
I wanted answers to know if its worth the fight,
I wanted permanence, but nothing is in this life,
and all my courage couldn’t make all seem clear...
If dreams are strangers, maybe I’ll find one here.
City lights...keeps me alive.

Just had to get this on vinyl although I've been listening to this album for a couple of years already.... now it can take it rightful place beside " Endless Summer!"🧔
