This city was everything we wanted it to be
No one paid us any mind and that just set us free
You took out your colours and painted up the sky
I sunk in the pavement here while you started to fly
I looked out my window and I saw you in the street
Big black car waiting for you, people at your feet
I know that I'm the one who brings the secrets and the lies
Can't imagine how I look right now through your eyes
No more the waiting game
Always comes back the same
I want you back again
The way we were before
And I can't find my way
No I can't find my way
No I can't find my way
Back to you
Walking through the summer nights
Heading for the park
Future hangs over my head
The past is growing dark
I have fallen deep into the river of the night
Can't help drifting farther from the warmth of your sweet light
No more the waiting game
Always turns out the same
I need you back again
The way we were before
CHORUS
No one paid us any mind and that just set us free
You took out your colours and painted up the sky
I sunk in the pavement here while you started to fly
I looked out my window and I saw you in the street
Big black car waiting for you, people at your feet
I know that I'm the one who brings the secrets and the lies
Can't imagine how I look right now through your eyes
No more the waiting game
Always comes back the same
I want you back again
The way we were before
And I can't find my way
No I can't find my way
No I can't find my way
Back to you
Walking through the summer nights
Heading for the park
Future hangs over my head
The past is growing dark
I have fallen deep into the river of the night
Can't help drifting farther from the warmth of your sweet light
No more the waiting game
Always turns out the same
I need you back again
The way we were before
CHORUS
