Take Back The City

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
