Courtney Jones - City Lights lyrics

[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
