She dreamed of city lights
I couldn’t find a way to make things right
I said I’m giving all I’ve got
She said just go and live your life
But what if I said I was okay?
What if you said you weren’t afraid?
Do you think that things would change?
Do you think you’d hate my ways?
I’ve tried to quit so many times
Fucked up so many peoples lives
If I’d catch a break I’d get this right
I want to see those city lights
The street lights burst
And now we can sleep
We’ll see you when the morning leaves
And we couldn’t wait
To take that stage
We couldn’t wait to fall asleep
Things will never be the same
But we still search for the glory days
We’re older and times have changed
Just like the street lines fade away
Some things we think we’ll never get
Sometimes we think we’re over it
It seems we’re in over our heads
We left our girls alone in bed
I’ve tried to quit so many times
Fucked up so many peoples lives
If I’d catch a break I’d get this right
I want to see those city lights
