THE CITY SINGS BACK nova music nova originals

I remember cold apartments Rain against the windowpane I remember empty evenings Wondering if I'd stay the same Walking streets that never knew me Passing faces every day Back then I was chasing echoes Trying hard to find my way I spent years singing to the city Now the city sings to me The city sings back Every word I've ever known The city sings back And somehow it feels like home Every lonely night Every road I had to walk Lives inside the voices When the whole crowd starts to talk I remember open mics Three people in the room I remember hauling amplifiers Through the midnight gloom I remember counting coins Hoping rent would somehow wait Funny how the hardest chapters Led me to this place The streets that never heard me Now are singing every line The city sings back Every word I've ever known The city sings back And somehow it feels like home Every lonely night Every road I had to walk Lives inside the voices When the whole crowd starts to talk Maybe success was never About lights or fame Maybe it's hearing strangers Know the words to your pain Maybe it's finding meaning In every sacrifice Watching broken dreams become Something beautiful in life I came here looking For a place to belong I didn't realize I was building one The city sings back Every word I've ever known The city sings back And now it feels like home Every lonely night Every road I had to walk Lives inside the voices When the whole crowd starts to talk The city sings back And standing here tonight I finally understand Why I never gave up the fight The lights still shine... The songs move on... And somewhere tonight... Another dream begins...
