With just a brace, I soon forget
Rolling over to want to regret
Yeah to home, I'm sick to say.
Now I'm naked and lying here,
Looking at someone I thought I knew
But she's a stranger.
But I'm stranger to myself,
Gotta get out of here
I think I'll take a breath of fresh air,
That's what I'll do.
Now picture this set among sunsets
And just your backdrop,
Where everyone's a stranger in this city of brotherly love.
And the bars are filled with pretty girls.
And prettier boys turn to other noises
And neon glows, an open shutter blows.
And oh well I'll be singing, Oh well I'll singing.
I'll be singing, whoa yeah.
And when the lights go out
On this godforsaken place,
Well I'll be looking for something,
That someone with something
That takes me away from it all.
And kiss, kiss me, I wanna feel something.
I just wanna feel something.
So down to the boulevard where the children cry
I step into this lonely bar, a shadow steps out and says,
Hey would you like to dance with me?
I don't even know your name. Well I'm a little boy
From a small country town, where no one's seen the world,
I've come to the city to be found.
So she takes me high on the rooftop where the sky
Was suns and I scream out,
Is this what I've been looking for, for so long?
I said wait.
And I won't.
And I can't stop this.
And when the lights go out.
On this godforsaken place.
Well I'll be looking for something,
That someone with something
That takes me away from it all.
Takes me away.
I wanna see
I wanna feel
I wanna touch
I wanna breathe
In this life that I want so very much
To know what it is when you're nowhere.
So let's raise our glasses to the night
And will you show me,
Will you show me the world?
Oh, will you show me the world?
Oh, will you show me the world?
