[Verse 1] Boots hit the crosswalk slow Rain on a takeout bag Sleeves rolled up to the elbow You got that look they need when they drag One busted street sign glows You read it like a map Every hard face in the cold Turns around when you step back [Pre-Chorus] You don’t ask for a crown You just show up now When the whole block bends You stand up straight and loud [Chorus] City Night Hero You pull us through City Night Hero When the dark comes through You light the busted windows With a broken-heart truth City Night Hero Yeah, we look to you (to you) [Verse 2] You got a scar on your knuckle From a door you held last June You shared your last five dollars With a kid outside the noodle shop booth The buses hiss and leave You stay another round While the tired and the lost Find their way back downtown [Pre-Chorus] You don’t need the noise You don’t need the praise You just turn that fear Into a better day [Chorus] City Night Hero You pull us through City Night Hero When the dark comes through You light the busted windows With a broken-heart truth City Night Hero Yeah, we look to you (to you) [Bridge] If the whole world shakes tonight You’ll be there, side by side With your name on the edge of the curb And hope in your eyes [Final Chorus] City Night Hero You pull us through City Night Hero When the dark comes through You light the busted windows With a broken-heart truth City Night Hero Yeah, we look to you (to you) City Night Hero Keep on shining through City Night Hero You pull us through City Night Hero When the dark comes through You light the busted windows With a broken-heart truth City Night Hero Yeah, we look to you (to you) City Night Hero Keep on shining through (shining through)
