The Sound of the City

from Half​-​Hearted & Climbing by The Black Moons

/

lyrics

Woke up to sirens that were blasting, 3 am
It woke you up and then you rolled on to the other side
I tried pretending that I did nothing wrong, that you’re betrayal was a sacrifice
But every time I try to look at myself I seem to break down and cry
Do you remember the time you used to talk about how happy we were
And ever since that night, we let the sirens run our lives

Chorus
Here we go, this is the sound of the city
Don’t let go, this is the sound of the city
Here we go, these are the sounds of the city

Too close for comfort has always been the song I sing
It’s like my footsteps when I’m walking to your doorstep in the twilight of spring
I’ve had enough of all the poets and the dreamers who tell me to shoot for the moon
Cause every time I take a step outside it’s like I’m falling too soon

Try to remember the day the streetlights changed the way you’re looking at me
Or maybe it was a reflection pool that made you want to leave me

Chorus

On and off here we go
Off and on we move on
Chorus
So don’t let go
Don’t let go
Don’t let go of my heart
Don’t let go
