Bright Lights And Cityscapes

Hold my breath and I'll count to ten

I'm the paper and you're the pen

You fill me in, you are permanent

And you leave me to dry

I'm the writer and she's the muse

I'm the one that you always choose

She will falter and gift her blame

And it starts all over again

Again, again, again, again



She is bright lights and cityscapes

And white lies and cavalcades

And she'll take all you ever have

But I'm gonna love you

You say maybe it will last this time

But I'm gonna love you

You never have to ask

I'm gonna love you

'Til you start looking back

I'm gonna love you so right

I wouldn't need a second chance



Shield your eyes from the truth at end

Tell me why it'll be good again

All those demons are closing in

And I don't want you to burn

Never mind what I said before

I don't want any less, any more

You are carbon and I am flame

I will rise and you will remain



For bright lights and cityscapes

And landslides and mascarades

And she'll take all you ever have

But I'm gonna love you

You say maybe it will last this time

But I'm gonna love you

You never have to ask

I'm gonna love you

'Til you start looking back

I wouldn't need a second chance

I wouldn't need a second chance

I wouldn't need a second chance

I wouldn't need a second chance
