city line Lyrics

You can't see the stars from this place

But I love the streets that copy and paste

They tore out road right from under us

I'm sleeping with people I'll never trust

The season don't change much round here

We live in the night, sharing belvedere

Where nobody turns into everyone

Another detour around a fading sun

And if I could take this moment in your hands

Pretty and golden before it turns back into sand

Everybody needs you, nobody sees you

In this bubble of time

On the city line

Standing on the city line

Standing on the city line

And I can't go back

And brother puked up on the kitchen rug

We couldn't admit to have drank too much

And those are the days that I'll never touch

Locked away anxious, but is it enough

To be walking these memories

If I can't feel

Their faces around me

And if I could freeze this picture in your head

Pretty and golden, like the fields where we always met

Everybody needs you, nobody sees you

In this perfect place in time

Standing on the city line

Standing on the city line

And I hear them ghosts

Of the kids that skipped school to go

Down to the Wild West coast

And your dad cursing me at home

How were supposed to know

That the place we'd miss the most

After all this time

Was standing on the city line

Standing on the city line

And I can't go back

And I cant go back
