Lonely Night

Paroles de « Lonely Night »

The town's asleep and I'm still walking
My shadow's the only thing keeping up
Neon buzzes over closed-up bars
Concrete everywhere I turn, and I can't shake this off

But there's something burning low, it won't go out
The thought that someone's out there, someone I haven't found

In this dead-of-night city
I'm looking for a real one, someone with a light
A heart that keeps the same time as mine
Out here where everything's grey and designed to break you
I want out of this loop, I want a hand to hold
Not just a name on a screen, something I can feel

Lit windows, people talking low
Lives tangled up while I walk past below
I pass couples leaning into doorways
Love that drifts past me like a train I'm always late for

But I keep walking, I'm not done yet
Somewhere in this city someone's awake at four AM
A hand I haven't held yet, eyes I'd fall into
A voice that says we've got time, we've got room to learn

What if tonight's the night everything changes?
What if I turn the corner and you're right there?
The sky's clear for once, like it's trying to tell me something
Maybe by morning I won't feel so far from home

In this dead-of-night city
I'm looking for a real one, someone with a light
A heart that keeps the same time as mine
Out here where everything's grey and designed to break you
I want out of this loop, I want a hand to hold
Not just a name on a screen, something I can feel

Lonely night, this city's keeping secrets
Somewhere in the middle of it all, I'm looking for you
