This City Knows

I know these neon streets are brighter than you're used to On the quiet roads that you call home But I've always loved how even in the silent moments It's impossible to feel alone And this city knows How much I hate to feel alone I hear the sirens while you're sleeping They're a somber sound that asks me what I'm doing still awake But I see the other lights and lives out in the evening And I know that what I'm hearing Is asking them the same And so it goes Sometimes we all forget that anybody else could ever feel this wrong But this city knows How hard it is for anyone at all To ever feel like they belong We're all just lives out in the dark Waiting for light to come along Waiting for light to come along And I see you from afar But it's impossible to see down past the buildings to your scars And you block out all the stars But it's only cause you're always closer to me than they are I'm sorry if I let you down I never meant to fall apart I never meant to fall apart But so it goes Sometimes we all forget that anybody else could ever feel this wrong And this city knows How hard it is for anyone at all To ever feel like they belong We're all just lives out in the dark We're all just lives out in the dark We're all just lives out in the dark Waiting for light to come along I know these neon streets are brighter than you're used to On the quiet roads that you call home But this city knows How much I hate to feel alone
