lirik lagu weglobe - city lights

[verse 1]
i used to stand on my front porch in my small town
counting the stars, feeling like they were letting me down
i’d close my eyes and see a different constellation
made of taxi yellows and neon temptation
i dreamed in skyline silhouettes and subway train beats
of crowded sidewalks and anonymous streets
where i could be anybody, somebody new
and the whole d~mn world would know my name before i was through

[chorus]
oh, city lights, you called my name
a burning fever, a beautiful flame
i sold my peace for your electric hum
traded my quiet for a deafening drum
and i got what i wanted, it’s a curious thing
this golden cage where the nightbirds sing
yeah, i got what i wanted, but sometimes i miss
the girl on the porch who dreamed of a kiss like this

[verse 2]
now i’m living in the postcard, inside the glow
every window’s a story, but i don’t really know
the people behind them, we’re all just ghosts
chasing the echoes of what we want the most
the stage door closes, the silence is loud
just me and my shadow and a faceless crowd
that’s waiting for me to give them a sign
that this glittering kingdom is actually mine
[chorus]
oh, city lights, you called my name
a burning fever, a beautiful flame
i sold my peace for your electric hum
traded my quiet for a deafening drum
and i got what i wanted, it’s a curious thing
this golden cage where the nightbirds sing
yeah, i got what i wanted, but sometimes i miss
the girl on the porch who dreamed of a kiss like this

[bridge]
and my mother calls and asks, “are you eating, are you sleeping okay?”
and i lie and say, “i’m living the dream every single day”
but the dream is a monster that’s hungry for more
it’s kicking down the door of my twenty~third floor
and the girl on the porch would be terrified of the view
from up here, with everything, and nothing, to lose

[final chorus]
oh, city lights, you called my name!
a burning fever, a beautiful flame!
i sold my peace for your electric hum!
traded my quiet for a deafening drum!
and i got what i wanted, it’s a curious thing!
this golden cage where the nightbirds sing!
yeah, i got what i wanted, but sometimes i miss!
the girl on the porch who dreamed of a kiss like this!
[outro]
city lights…
keep burning bright…
for the next girl on her porch tonight…
