| This is my stomping ground,
|
| these are the roads I walk home.
|
| Out here where the streets unwind
|
| keeping the city lights on
|
| Leaving’s not the same
|
| as being left behind
|
| I found my own path in life,
|
| passed up the suit and tie.
|
| I found a way
|
| of escaping the 9 to 5.
|
| But to judge you on your own life,
|
| that’s not for me to say
|
| I’ve seen this happen before
|
| but I won’t let it change me.
|
| Do whatever works for you
|
| There’s no substitute for staying true
|
| to get you through the dark times.
|
| Trends and phases come and go.
|
| Connect with a world you barely know
|
| Lord knows it’ll open your eyes.
|
| This is my stomping ground
|
| and one day I’ll settle down,
|
| but not for a while
|
| out here, where the streets unwind
|
| and lead me to peace of mind,
|
| away from the city lights
|
| Leaving’s not the same
|
| as being left behind,
|
| (but we turn new pages
|
| in our lives.)
|
| Do whatever works for you
|
| There’s no substitute for staying true
|
| to get you through the dark times.
|
| Trends and phases come and go,
|
| Connect with a world you barely know
|
| Lord knows it’ll open your eyes,
|
| your eyes.
|
| City lights bring me home, the streets unwind.
|
| I found my own path to peace of mind.
|
| It’s not over yet
|
| City lights bring me home.
|
| The streets unwind
|
| and leavings not the same
|
| as being left behind.
|
| These days
|
| these days get tough,
|
| but don’t mistake love
|
| for spoon fed lives,
|
| for spoon fed lives
|
| These days
|
| these days get tough,
|
| but don’t mistake love
|
| for spoon fed lives,
|
| for spoon fed lives
|
| These days
|
| these days get tough,
|
| but don’t mistake love
|
| for spoon fed lives
|
| These days
|
| these days get tough,
|
| but don’t mistake love
|
| for spoon fed lives,
|
| for spoon fed lives
|
| (don't mistake love,
|
| don’t mistake love)
|
| Do whatever works for you
|
| There’s no substitute for staying true
|
| to get you through the dark times.
|
| Trends and phases come and go.
|
| Connect with a world you barely know
|
| Lord knows it’ll open your eyes.
|
| Do whatever works for you
|
| There’s no substitute for staying true
|
| to get you
|
| to get you
|
| Trends and phases come and go.
|
| Connect with a world you barely even know
|
| You even know
|
| Lord knows it’ll open your eyes.
|
| your eyes. |
