Tower lights above me, Concrete underfoot, Everything feels larger Than the stories that I took. Taxi lights are rushing, Voices fill the air, A thousand lives are moving Like they don't know I'm here. I've never seen a night Shine brighter than the day. The city's like a river, And it's pulling me away. Neon streets never sleep, And neither do my dreams. Every light above this city Feels closer than it seems. Neon streets never sleep, They're calling out my name. And somewhere in this madness, A stage is waiting for me. Everybody's busy, Everybody's running fast. Nobody seems to notice Another shadow passing past. Tiny room, thin mattress, Guitar against the wall, The city looks much different When you're standing here this small. But every shining window, Every crowded avenue, Keeps reminding me Exactly what I came to do. Neon streets never sleep, And neither do my dreams. Every light above this city Feels closer than it seems. Neon streets never sleep, They're calling out my name. And somewhere in this madness, A stage is waiting for me. Now I finally understand Why everybody fights. Dreams don't come from wishing, They come from sleepless nights. The city doesn't owe me, The city doesn't care. If I want my songs remembered, I've got to leave them there. Nobody knows my name. Nobody knows my songs. Nobody's waiting for me. Yet. But every legend started As someone nobody knew. And maybe... That's exactly where I'm supposed to be. Neon streets never sleep, And neither do my dreams. Every light above this city Still burns inside of me. Neon streets never sleep, They're calling out my name. And I won't leave this city Till I carve my place in fame. One day these crowded sidewalks Will remember where I've been. And the boy who left the province Will finally fit within. The traffic keeps moving... The skyline still glows... And somewhere beneath these neon lights... My story begins...
