City Lights
Andy Kong Lyrics

I turn around to see you
I look back to where you once were

But the color of the city lights
Yet the bright colors of city lights

Make everything so hazy
Blur everything in front of me and obstructing my vision

I'm trying to believe you
I am attempting to trust you

But it hurts to hear you say
It pains me to hear you confess

That the city has changed us
That we have been transformed by the city life

Remember the nights when we'd lie out right on the pavement?
Do you reminisce the times we lay on the road pavement?

Staring up as we watched the stars dance across the evening sky
We would stare into the sky and watch the stars appear to move

And why did we move away from the quiet country?
What reason caused us to move far from the peaceful countryside?

Trading rubber and rust for rubble and dust
Exchanging the smell of rubber and rust for the presence of rubble and dust

As we fade away underneath the city lights
As we slowly disappear under the bright lights of the city

Are we fading away underneath the city lights?
Are we vanishing into the city lights?

And how did it come to this?
How did we arrive at this moment?

We left a happy home for this
We abandoned a pleasant home for this situation

Where the roof and the walls of that old house
Where the roof and walls of our former home

Were pieces of us, but now
Represented a part of us, yet today

The night sky burns street light to street light
The city lights eclipse the natural night sky

From your eyes run tears of a past life
You shed tears over a life that is gone

In a pool of memories on the floor
Creating a pool of memories on the ground

We were just kids livin' a small town growin' too quick
We were simply youngsters living in a small town growing too fast

And our hearts set on leavin' it
And we aspired to abandon it

We left home runnin' with our hands clasped tight
We fled home clutching our hands firmly together

But somewhere along the lines we lost sight
But at some point we lost our way

And now we're two strangers runnin' lost in a big town
And now we are two unfamiliar people wandering aimlessly in a large city

The bright lights, they inspire you when the sun goes down
The vibrant city lights inspire you when it's dark

Where do they lead you now?
Where do these city lights take you today?

Underneath the city lights
Beneath the illuminating city lights

As we're fading away underneath the city lights
As we gradually disappear under the bright city lights
