it's only the city lights
i'm making love to tonight
walking the streets of this deserted city
for once without you beside me
falling into the spaces between traffic lights
and watching the stars cut through the night
but i'm sure this sky knows your name
because the beauty of the moon and your eyes is the same
i don't keep track of where my footsteps fall
they may bring me to you, but you wouldn't care at all
so the dirty pavement screams dirty words
at this girl even the stop signs can see hurts
but i'm calm as buildings burn, a city on fire
(you said you'd return but now i know you're just a LIAR)
so open me like the sky in this downpour
i can't tell the difference between tears and rain anymore
boy i'm coming to find you again one of these days
...did you ever even realize you'd lost me along the way?
