[Verse 1] The neon signs are cutting through the grey A million footsteps wishing me away walking with purpose, they know the line Tracing a path I can’t seem to find City bustle, neon shining so bright But not me I’m just a blur in the night. [Verse 2] I look at the boards, the arrows flashing red A language I can’t translate in my head It’s a beautiful noise, a glittering screen But I can’t see the sign saying what it all means How can a city with infinite light Leave a heart completely in the dark tonight? [Chorus] I’m standing high above the crowd, looking down at the city glow Surrounded by a world that doesn’t feel like one I know I’m a stranger to the skin I’m in, a shadow on the wall Standing in a sea of faces, waiting for a sign in it all Yeah, you can be anywhere, under any sky And still be the one who is wondering why Lost in the middle of a beautiful view Trying to find a way back to you. [Verse 3] The networks are running, perfectly on time Faces in windows, rolling down the line A thousand connections, filling up the space But no one looks at anyone else’s face Including me going fast on a circle in the track No stop in mind, and no turning back. [Chorus] Standing deep in the crowd, looking out at the city glow Surrounded by a world that doesn’t feel like one I know I’m a stranger to the skin I’m in, a shadow on the wall Standing in a sea of faces, waiting for a sign in it all Yeah, you can be anywhere, under any sky And still be the one who is wondering why Lost in the middle of a beautiful view Trying to find a way back to you. [Bridge] The concrete fades into the autumn red The water is still, the heavy words unsaid I watch the golden fish drift underneath the cold Thumbing through the stories, I've always told Maybe the maps have to be torn apart And getting lost, is the way back to the heart. [Chorus - Final Build] I’m standing high above the crowd, looking down at the city glow Surrounded by a world that doesn’t feel like one I know I’m a stranger to the skin I’m in, a shadow on the wall Standing in a sea of faces, waiting for a sign in it all Yeah, you can be anywhere, under any sky And still be the one who is wondering why Lost in the middle of a beautiful view Trying to find a way back to you. [Outro] Just a shadow on the wall... Under a beautiful sky. Finding my way… My way back to you.
