In My City

Ellie Goulding · Other Songs - Ellie Goulding

If I ever had a wish in the whole world

I would've listened to my brother when he spoke to me

And I never would've played with my conscience

In the fields where I was in their company



But you gave me wings and I used them

I used them, I used them on my youth

And you gave me wings and I used them

I used them, and I won't lose them



Now I've found my feet, count to one, two, three

And I'm taking off tonight, now I'm free

As I walk my feet on the cold concrete

And I, and I, and I



I can feel my dreams when I'm, in my city

I fall on my knees for my, for my city

We grow on every dream in my, in my city

And that's where I'll stay

And that's where I'll stay

In my city



I wandered down the streets in my new town

With the lights blinding and my heart played down



I think I'll get a job, recieve people's thunder

But the folks back home I'll make them proud



But you gave me wings and I used them

I used them, I used them on my youth

Yeah, you gave me wings and I used them

I used them, I don't wanna lose them

I don't wanna lose them



I can feel my dreams when I'm in my city

I fall on my knees for my, for my city

We grow on every dream in my, in my city

And that's where I'll stay

And that's where I'll stay

In my city



My shoulders ache for wanted wings

My city shakes the fear in me



I can feel my dream when I'm, in my city

I fall on my knees for my, for my city

We're grow on every dream in my, in my city

And that's where I'll stay

And that's where I'll stay

In my city
