City Is Exploding Lyrics

so let's let our little one run wild
with optimism tempered through sadness and experience
so let's let our little one run wild
i don't have enough to let you go
how i call this love i may never know
but i don't have enough to let you go

and the city is exploding
and the people here are nuts
how i wish i had you here tonight

and the city is exploding
and the people here are nuts
i want to show you
and he almost looked like you in candle light
have i come all this way for a song i already knew
with overflowing ashtrays, plastic carrier bags
have i come all this way for a song i already knew

and the city is exploding
and the people here are nuts
how i wish i had you here tonight
and the city is exploding
and the people here are nuts
i want to show it all to you
and he almost looked like you in candle light
but nobody looks quite like you do in candle light

so let's let our little one run wild
i don't have enough to let you go
and how we call the love we may never know
