City Lights

[Verse 1]
I'm not over you
There's nothing I can do
I am hoping and I am dreaming
I am desperate, I'm careening and I'm wrong
See I set my sights
On you and the city lights
I wanted your persistence
But you're safer from a distance

[Pre-Chorus 1]
With me not in your eyes
Slowly hypnotized me
Passed the point of reason
And my heart committed treason

[Chorus]
I've been shaken down
Fighting you in vain
And I've got to get out
And live again

[Verse 2]
There were so many signs
That I thought power lines
Were there for my protection
And I wanted your affection
I thought you set me free
In all your mystery
But locked inside the grid
I'm exhausted and forbidden and I know

[Pre-Chorus 2]
That I've got to run
You know everyone
The city streets are mean
And there's no escaping clean

[Chorus]
I've been shaken down
Fighting you in vain
And I've got to get out
And live again

[Bridge]
I am guilty
In my weakness
Moments where you
Always find me

[Chorus]
I've been shaken down
Fighting you in vain
And I've got to get out
And live again and live again
