Lyrics for Song: Take Back The City
Lyrics for Album: Up To Now [2009]
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa
God knows you put your life into its hands
And it's both cradled you and crushed
But now it's time to make your own demands
Whoa
All these years later and it's killing me
Your broken records in words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa
No need to put your words into my mouth
Don't need convincing at all
I love this place enough to have no doubts
Whoa
It's a mess, it's a start
It's a flawed work of art
Your say, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing, 'til you drop
'Cause the fun just never stops
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears its teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every sign that's been hit
Take back the city tonight
Tell me you never wanted more than this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa
It's a mess, it's a start
It's a flawed work of art
Your say, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing, 'til you drop
'Cause the fun just never stops
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears its teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every sign that's been hit
Take back the city tonight
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every sign that's been hit
Take back the city tonight
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
