Babylon
´óÎÀ¸ñÀ×(David Gray) Lyrics

Friday night I'm going nowhere
On Friday night, I'm feeling stuck and uncertain about where I'm headed in life.

All the lights are changing green to red
I feel like everything in my life is in a constant state of flux and I can't keep up.

Turning over tv stations
I'm channel-surfing, trying to distract myself from my thoughts and feelings.

Situations running through my head
My mind is racing with different scenarios and outcomes, and I can't seem to quiet it down.

Well looking back through time
As I reflect on my life and past decisions, I realize how blind I've been.

You know it's clear that I've been blind
I'm beginning to understand how my actions and choices have led me down the wrong path.

I've been a fool
I have made poor choices and acted foolishly in the past.

To open up my heart
I allowed myself to be vulnerable and put my heart on the line.

To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
But in doing so, I also exposed myself to negative emotions like jealousy, bitterness, and ridicule from others.

Saturday I'm running wild
On Saturday, I'm letting loose and allowing myself to be spontaneous.

And all the lights are changing red to green
Things in my life are shifting and changing, and I feel like I'm finally able to go with the flow.

Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
I'm navigating through a crowd of people, determined to make my way forward.

Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
I'm caught up in the thrill of the moment, experiencing a rush of adrenaline and excitement.

Only wish that you were here
Despite enjoying myself, I can't help but think of someone I miss and wish they were with me.

You know I'm seeing it so clear
I'm gaining clarity and understanding about my feelings and what I want in life.

I've been afraid
In the past, I may have been too scared to fully express myself.

Show you how I really feel
But now I want to be honest and open about my emotions.

Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
I recognize that I've made errors in judgment before and I'm willing to own up to them.

If you want it
If there's something you desire,

Come and get it
Go after it, it's yours for the taking.

Crying out loud
I'm declaring my feelings loudly and without shame.

The love that I was
The affection I had shown in the past,

Giving you was
I had given that to you, freely and without reservation.

Never in doubt
There was never any question about my feelings towards you.

Let go your heart
Release all the emotions pent up inside you.

Let go your head
Stop overthinking and just feel what you feel.

And feel it now
Allow yourself to fully experience your emotions in the present moment.

Babylon, Babylon, Babylon
This refrain is a reminder that the world can be full of confusion and chaos, but we can find our way through it and come out stronger on the other side.

Sunday all the lights of London
On Sunday, I'm walking around London, taking in the beauty of the city lights.

Shining, Sky is fading red to blue
As the sun sets, the sky changes colors and the city lights shine even brighter.

I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
I'm walking through piles of leaves and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

And wondering where it is you might be going to
Despite enjoying myself, I'm still thinking about someone I miss and wondering what they're doing at this moment.

Turning back for home
As the night draws to a close, I start to head back home.

You know I'm feeling so alone
Despite enjoying myself, I'm still feeling lonely without that special person by my side.

I can't believe
I'm surprised and amazed by something unexpected.

Climbing on the stair
As I climb the stairs to my home,

I turn around to see you smiling there
I'm shocked and delighted to see that person I've been missing standing there, smiling at me.
