As far as I see when I was barely fourteen
And everything was a wash with a pink light
Sunshine or rain, every morning just the same
I kept my face for the front for the whole drive
Out in the night, faces lit up by the fire
As the smoke rises, my mind's feeling fuzzy
Climb to the peak and then we all fell asleep
Feel the chill, feel everything
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go
I see the streets that I know
No question where I'll be
Stranger's all around
Feel safe when I can't be found
No direction
Just walking on to that beat
In the city
Hey, in the city
Oh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
The people that know
You can't just do what your told
They're always searching for something unseen
And when I was lost
Couldn't see past all the fog
It was the hills forgiving me
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go
I see the streets that I know
No question where I'll be
Stranger's all around
Feel safe when I can't be found
No direction
Just walking on to that beat
In the city
Hey, in the city
Hey, yeah, city
Oh, oh, oh-oo-oh
City, yeah-e-yeah, hey
[Bridge](5x)
Too many times, heartbroken
So I will be (city)
Found loving you
In the city
[Outro](3x)
In the city
