City Lights Don't Lie

[Verse 1] Five of us squeezed in a hatchback car Singing out of tune but we're going far Windows cracked and the night's still warm Laughing like we never knew a storm Northbridge glow on the passenger side Chips on the dash and the bass turned high Somebody yells out "this one's yours" And I'm singing louder than I have before [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, I almost missed this Ooh, I almost quit this All the friends who stayed around When I couldn't make a sound [Chorus] City lights, city lights Shining on the ones who stayed City lights, city lights Turning midnight into day We're alive, we're alive Every window open wide City lights don't lie City lights don't lie [Verse 2] Pull up to the beach when the clock hits three Sand in our shoes and the salt on the breeze Someone says "remember when you'd never leave your room?" I say "yeah, I remember, but I'm out here with you" Not every healing comes from being alone Sometimes it's the voices that get you home Hands in the air and the waves roll through Couldn't have made it without this crew [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, I almost missed this Ooh, I almost quit this All the friends who stayed around When I couldn't make a sound [Chorus] City lights, city lights Shining on the ones who stayed City lights, city lights Turning midnight into day We're alive, we're alive Every window open wide City lights don't lie City lights don't lie [Bridge - Pads and voice] If you're stuck inside tonight Call the ones who love you right Let 'em in, let 'em in That's where the light begins [Final Chorus - Group vocals] City lights, city lights Shining on the ones who stayed City lights, city lights Turning midnight into day We're alive, we're alive Every window open wide City lights don't lie City lights don't lie [Outro] City lights... Don't lie
