Snow Patrol - Take back the city - commentary version lyrics

Take back the city for yourself tonight I'll take back the city for me Take back the city for yourself tonight Whoa whoa God knows you put your life into its hands And it's both cradled you and crushed But now it's time to make your own demands Whoa whoa All these years later and it's k**ing me Your broken records and words Ten thousand craters where it all should be Whoa whoa No need to put your words into my mouth Don't need convincing at all I love this place enough to have no doubt Whoa whoa It's a mess, it's a start It's a flawed work of art Your say, your call Every crack, every wall Pick a side, pick a fight But get your epitaph right You can sing 'til you drop 'Cause the fun just never stops I love this city tonight I love this city always It bears its teeth like a light And spits me out after days But we're all gluttons for it We know it's wrong and it's right For every sign that's been hit Take back the city tonight Tell me you never wanted more than this And I will stop talking now One perfect partner, one eternal kiss Whoa whoa Take back the city for yourself tonight I'll take back the city for me Take back the city for yourself tonight Whoa whoa It's a mess, it's a start It's a flawed work of art Your say, your call Every crack, every wall Pick a side, pick a fight But get your epitaph right You can sing 'til you drop 'Cause the fun just never stops I love this city tonight I love this city always It bears its teeth like a light And spits me out after days But we're all gluttons for it We know it's wrong and it's right For every sign that's been hit Take back the city tonight I love this city tonight I love this city always It bears its teeth like a light And spits me out after days But we're all gluttons for it We know it's wrong and it's right For every sign that's been hit Take back the city tonight I love this city tonight I love this city always I love this city tonight I love this city always
