[Verse 1] (Fast, bouncy skate-punk rhythm) Late bus ride, headphones loud Lost in the noise of the crowd Corner store, cheap energy Just me and the city breathing with me Skate shoes scuff on the sidewalk cracks Same old streets but I keep coming back Neon buzz in the evening air Feels like something’s always there [Pre-Chorus] (Tension building, driving bass) I don’t know where I’m going But the night keeps glowing Every street feels like it knows me Pulls me back where I’m supposed to be [Chorus] (Explosive energy, huge melodic hooks) City lights, they’re calling my name! Burning bright but it feels the same! Run it fast, don’t slow it down We’re alive in this tired town! City lights, don’t let me go Heartbeat racing, take it slow Every corner feels like a sign I’m still here, I’m doing fine! [Verse 2] (Bratty, half-spoken punk delivery) Basement shows, shaking walls Duct tape posters in the halls Laughing loud, no plan at all Just trying not to fall Streetcars pass like moving dreams Broken halos under streetlight beams Everybody’s chasing something new I guess I am too [Pre-Chorus] (Tension building, driving bass) It never gets quiet But I kinda like it Every street feels like it knows me Pulls me back where I’m supposed to be [Chorus] (Explosive energy, huge melodic hooks) City lights, they’re calling my name! Burning bright but it feels the same! Run it fast, don’t slow it down We’re alive in this tired town! City lights, don’t let me go Heartbeat racing, take it slow Every corner feels like a sign I’m still here, I’m doing fine! [Bridge] (Half-time beat, emotional buildup) Maybe we’re lost, maybe we’re not Maybe this is all we’ve got But I don’t wanna leave tonight Underneath these city lights [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] [Key Change] (Maximum energy, anthemic finish) City lights, I hear them call! Louder now, I feel it all! Run it fast, don’t slow it down We’re alive in this tired town! City lights, I won’t let go Even when I’m moving slow Every corner feels like a sign I’m still here, I’m doing fine! [Post-Chorus] (Fast chugging guitars) City lights, they burn so bright Pulling me back every night And I don’t care where I end up tonight I’m still alive under city lights! [Outro] (Guitars ringing out, punchy drum hits) City lights… city lights… I’m still here, I'm doing fine… [End]
