{Verse 1: Will Sheff}
{?} rolling by
{?} blink of an eye
Sing a song in the summer
Sing a song
Hazed-out, fogged-out days and years apart
Stopping at the site where you last saw that absent father
Tell me what you remember
Okay, I'll start
{Chorus 1: Will Sheff}
I remember being green
It was easy for me
And I remember that green feeling leaving
High up for that city in the sky
Do you remember being blue?
Was it natural for you?
'Cause nobody gets out of grieving
High up for that city in the sky
{Verse 2: Will Sheff}
Was it moving back then?
Was it moving along?
Like a '74 song?
Lots of drinking {?}
Lots of waking in cars
Lots of living in bars
And the truth, for me, it's never changed
Although it's been I don't know how many years
Girl, gonna hold me, just hold me in your mind
I'm down in the cellar, and I'm saying my lines
And I'm dreaming that dream
Am I still in the scene?
I'll sing this song for the summer
{Saxophone Solo}
{Bridge: Beth Wawerna}
She wrote a message to an old friend
It read, "I'll bet we never see that city again"
Skyline {?}
Ice and hydrogen
Just gonna both have to remember it
{Chorus 2: Will Sheff}
Do you remember being pink
And people wanting to know what you think?
There was a bar where you could always drink for free
High up in that city in the sky
Do you remember being right?
You were automatically dynamite
You would press or lean in so tight and you'd whisper to me
High up, high up in that city in the sky
{Verse 3: Will Sheff}
{?} disco blaze, there was a song shaken loose from my heart
Sing a song for the summer, for the summer
Sing a song, a song
{Chorus 3: Will Sheff}
I feel like a ghost at the wrong feast
Searching for a guest at the door of the bathroom of the bar, or the coat check
(High up in that city in the sky)
{?} fill the scene of some eventual star
Nothing is made to last
{?} can be taken {?}
(High up in that city in the sky)
The city, city in the sky, make my bed upon the tide
See the ocean glow and see the wave, see the wave {?}
(High up in that city in the sky)
I don't want this to be
One day I'll get killed
'Til then I wanna hold on to our love
(High up in that city in the sky)
