City Lights (Days Go By)

Bob Mould · Life And Times [2009]

Days go by

I wait to see the city lights

Clear view sky

I've got to make the most of this



I rewind the interstate

In my distant memory

Hateful logical

Cloudy calm and everything



Take the wheel

There's got to be an exit somewhere

The less I feel

The more I like the way you treat me



I respond to everything

Whispering into my eyes

So illogical

Cloudy calm and everything



I want you near me but I

Need the space for contemplation

I want you dearly but I

Need to find the city lights



Driving away from you

Someday I'll be back to find you

I hope you understand

I need to find my city lights
