City Lights [radio edit]

from Archetypes by PAWL

lyrics

Lights in the city
shine from the buildings and trees.
I hear the rain as it flows underground;
never a more naked sound.
You had your mind set on drinks and the chase:
grasping, delusional pace.

Somebody's got a hold of you
Somebody's got a...
You're dancing with a stranger.
Somebody's got a hold of you
Somebody's got a
You're in the arms of danger.

While you were out flouting about--
I was thinking: "The darkness could eat us alive."

I--- never saw that side of you.
But if I can make it, I know you'll make it too.
I--- see us on a balcony,
taking in the flowers and the view.
I--- know your life as been so hard--
I wish I could have been there from the start.
From the start....we should listen to our dreams with open hearts.

And in another dream, I saw you in a crystal beam- suspended in a light out of time.
I was half awake and breathing-- grounded in that lotus pose; sure that I could see your
face in mine.
I wish I could rise above it- human needs are like no other... a hundred thousand roots
growing in me.

Somebody's got a hold of me
Somebody's got a...
I'm dancing with a stranger.
Somebody's got a hold of me
Somebody's got a
I'm in the arms of danger.

While you were out flouting about--
I was thinking: "The darkness could eat us alive."

I--- never saw that side of you.
But if I can make it, I know you'll make it too.
I--- see us on a balcony,
taking in the flowers and the view.
I--- know your life as been so hard--
I wish I could have been there from the start.
From the start....we should listen to our dreams with open hearts.
