Lyrics Take Back The City - Snow Patrol

Take Back The City

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa
God knows you put your life in two a times
And it’s both cradled you and crushed
But now it’s time to make your own demands
Whoa
All these years later and it’s killing me
Your broken records and words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
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
It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
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 it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight
Tell me you never wanted more from this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa
It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
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 it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’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
