[instrumental] [verse 1] Here I am, above the city lights Skies are burning, planes are slicing nights Sirens cry, and car horns scream A symphony inside a broken dream The wind cuts deep, it chills my skin I see the crowds, but I don’t fit in They can’t imagine what I’d do Just to be down there with you [pré chorus] Above me, only stars remain But you won’t even ease my pain You won’t let me kiss your feet I’m high above, but feel defeat [chorus] I’m at the top of the city, losing my mind Got the whole world here, but you’re hard to find What’s the point of all this shine If your love can’t be mine? I’m at the top of the city, fading away No one sees me, no one stays I would trade it all, you see To have you here with me [verse 2] The chaos sings its lullaby While I just watch the night go by A concert in a world on fire But your silence cuts me like a wire [pré chorus] Above me, only stars remain But you won’t even ease my pain You won’t let me kiss your feet I’m high above, but feel defeat [chorus] I’m at the top of the city, losing my mind Got the whole world here, but you’re hard to find What’s the point of all this shine If your love can’t be mine? I’m at the top of the city, fading away No one sees me, no one stays I would trade it all, you see To have you here with me [bridge] Maybe I’m just a voice in the crowd Screaming your name, but not out loud Still I wait, still I believe One day you’ll look up and see me [final chorus] I’m at the top of the city, breaking inside The world’s beneath me, but I can’t hide What’s the point of reaching high If you’re not here by my side? I’m at the top of the city, losing my mind In all this light, you’re the one I can’t find [fade slowly]
