[Bright Lights and Cityscapes]
Hold my breath and I´ll count to ten
I´m the paper and you´re the pen
You fill me in and you are permanent
And you´ll leave me to dry
I´m the writer and she´s the muse
I´m the one that you always choose
She will falter and gift her blame
And it´s starts all over again
Again again again
[Refrain]
She is bright lights and cityscapes
And white lies and cavalcades
And she´ll take all you ever have
But I´m gonna love you
You say maybe it´ll last this time
But I´m gonna love you
You never have to ask
I´m gonna love you
´Til you start looking back
I´m gonna love you
So right
I wouldn´t need a second chance
Shield your eyes from the truth at hand
Tell me why it´ll be good again
All those demons are closing in
And I don´t want you to burn
Nevermind what I said before
I don´t want any less anymore
You are carbon and I am flame
I will rise and you will
Remain
[Refrain]
For bright lights and cityscapes
And landslides and masquerades
And she´ll take all you ever have
But I´m gonna love you
You say, "Maybe it´ll last this time"
But I´m gonna love you
You never have to ask
I´m gonna love you
´Til you start looking back
I wouldn´t need a second chance (x4)
Hold my breath and I´ll count to ten
I´m the paper and you´re the pen
You fill me in and you are permanent
And you´ll leave me to dry
I´m the writer and she´s the muse
I´m the one that you always choose
She will falter and gift her blame
And it´s starts all over again
Again again again
[Refrain]
She is bright lights and cityscapes
And white lies and cavalcades
And she´ll take all you ever have
But I´m gonna love you
You say maybe it´ll last this time
But I´m gonna love you
You never have to ask
I´m gonna love you
´Til you start looking back
I´m gonna love you
So right
I wouldn´t need a second chance
Shield your eyes from the truth at hand
Tell me why it´ll be good again
All those demons are closing in
And I don´t want you to burn
Nevermind what I said before
I don´t want any less anymore
You are carbon and I am flame
I will rise and you will
Remain
[Refrain]
For bright lights and cityscapes
And landslides and masquerades
And she´ll take all you ever have
But I´m gonna love you
You say, "Maybe it´ll last this time"
But I´m gonna love you
You never have to ask
I´m gonna love you
´Til you start looking back
I wouldn´t need a second chance (x4)
