lyrics

City nights, yellow lights reflecting in your eyes
They stole the part of all the stars repressed by all the light
You’re so close and bright, our lover’s glass is spent and all but gone
These days are long and far too hard, so we drink into the dawn

It’s just you and me babe we work like hand and glove
Like light in my eyes we’ve become
But the love in these arms is it really enough
The meaning between us is us

Our dreams strain and shake, quivering and waiting to awake
But our love’s a weight, crippling our chance at fighting fate
In another life we’ll make it to the skies
Because I can’t stand the sight of stars masked by city light

It’s just you and me babe we work like hand and glove
Like light in my eyes we’ve become
But the love in these arms is it really enough
The meaning between us is us

It’s just you and me babe we work like hand and glove
Like light in my eyes we’ve become
But the love in these arms is it really enough
The meaning between us is us
