It's so near to me, it's so dear to me
I see it in my sleep
And I always know if I've nowhere to go
It's somewhere I could be
And I see you at night in the city light
But it could change so easily
It's just a city
And on nights like this I feel small in this world
It's just a city
I am just a girl
It seems to me that once you stop walking
You don't want to know, you stop wanting to see
Your eyes get used to the same old story
Once you stop talking to strangers
It's just a city
And on nights like this I feel small in this world
It's just a city
I am just a girl
Out of place, out of time
Nothing to hold me, nothing mine
But I'm always told there's no hurry don't go
There's nothing but time but how do they know?
It's so near to me (near to me)
It's so dear to me (dear to me)
I see it in my sleep
And I always know if I've nowhere to go
It's somewhere I could be
It's just a city
And on nights like this I feel small in this world
It's just a city
And I'm just a girl
