[Verse 1]
I'm not over you, there's nothing I can do
I am hoping and I am dreaming, I am desperate, I'm careening
And I'm wrong, see I set my sights on you and the city lights
I wanted your persistence, but you're safer from a distance
[Pre-Chorus]
With me not in your eyes, slowly hypnotized me
Pa**ed the point of reason and my heart committed treason
[Chorus]
I've been shaken down, fighting you in vain
And I've got to get out and live again
[Verse 2]
There so many signs, that I thought power lines
Were there for my protection and I wanted your affection
I thought you set me free, in all your mystery
But locked inside the grid, I'm exhausted and forbidden
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that I've got to run, you know everyone
The city streets are mean and there's no escaping clean
[Chorus]
I've been shaken down, fighting you in vain
And I've got to get out and live again
[Bridge]
I am guilty in my weakness
Moments where you always find me
[Chorus]
I've been shaken down, fighting you in vain
And I've got to get out and live again, and live again
