Bright Lights and Cityscapes
Hold my breath and I'll count to tenI'm the paper and you're the penYou fill me in and you are permanentAnd you'll leave me to dryI'm the writer and she's the museAnd the one that you always chooseShe will falter and gift her blameAnd it starts all over againAgain again again
She is bright lights and cityscapesAnd white lies and cavalcadesAnd she'll take all you ever haveBut I'm gonna love youYou say maybe it'll last this timeBut I'm gonna love youYou never have to askI'm gonna love you'Til you start looking backI'm gonna love youSo rightI wouldn't need a second chance
Shield your eyes from the truth at handTell me why it'll be good againAll those demons are closing inAnd I don't want you to burnNevermind what I said beforeI don't want any less anymoreYou are carbon and I am flameI will rise and you willRemain
For bright lights and cityscapesAnd landslides and masqueradesAnd she'll take all you ever haveBut I'm gonna love youYou say, "Maybe it'll last this time"But I'm gonna love youYou never have to askI'm gonna love you'Til you start looking back
I wouldn't need a second chanceI wouldn't need a second chanceI wouldn't need a second chanceI wouldn't need a second chance
