this city never sleeps

this city never sleeps but it sure knows how to sleep tonight

and my heart knows how to beat but it don't know how to beat right

and i can see the streets but i can't see the street signs

with my eyes on the sidewalk

i was lost

it was so dark

i'm alone

i'm alive

and my hope still scrapes the sky

like all these buildings i will try

to leave the world behind until my head is clear

draw a new skyline. and change my atmosphere

it's different now i swear

there's something in the air tonight

and i can only stare at the glimmer of the night lights

and what i used to be scared of is making me aware of why

i lift my eyes from the sidewalk

i was so lost

it was dark

i'm alone

i'm alive

and my hope still scrapes the sky

like all these buildings i will try

to leave the world behind until my head is clear

draw a new skyline. and change my atmosphere

yeah

yeah

i'll change my atmosphere

my hope still scrapes the sky

like all these buildings i will try

to leave the world behind until my head is clear

oh yeah my hope still scrapes the sky

like all these buildings i will try

to leave the world behind until my head is clear

draw a new skyline. and change my atmosphere

i'll change my atmosphere

i'll change my atmosphere

this city

this city never sleeps

this city never sleeps

this city never sleeps

this city never sleeps
