City Lights
Jonas Viken Lyrics

I see your face on every sidewalk
The singer is haunted by memories of the person they love, and sees reminders of them everywhere.

I hear the sirens in my mind
The singer's mind is in turmoil, and they hear the chaos of their thoughts like sirens.

I’m on the cold edge of the rooftop
The singer feels isolated and alone, like they are on the edge of the world looking down.

I think I’m losing track of time
The singer feels disconnected from reality, and time seems to move in strange ways.

I replay the times
The singer is stuck in the past, and can't stop thinking about it.

I gave you my all
The singer loved someone deeply and did everything they could for them.

And all I want is you
The singer still loves the person, and wants to be with them despite everything.

I reach for the skies
The singer has big dreams and ambitions, and wants to achieve something great.

I see what I want
The singer knows what they want, but is unsure if they can attain it.

But I just play to lose
Despite their best efforts, the singer feels like they are destined to fail.

We fade away
The memories of the past are starting to fade, but they still linger.

I feel the memories still
The singer is still deeply affected by their memories of the person they loved.

I’ll let them go, I will
The singer is trying to move on, but it's difficult.

But I hold on to you and me
Despite everything, the singer can't let go of the memories of the person they loved, and the time they spent together.

I see the city lights
The singer is surrounded by the bustling lights of the city, and it gives them comfort.

I’m fine with in between
Despite their struggles, the singer is okay with the uncertainty and ambiguity of their current situation.

Someday I'll let the memories fade away
The singer hopes that one day they will be able to forget the memories of their love and move on.

But for now, I'll hold on to you and me
For the time being, the singer can't let go and will hold on to the memories of their love.

I see the city lights in the night
The singer is surrounded by the lights of the city at night, which brings them comfort and solace.

And know I'm fine with in between
Despite their struggles, the singer is okay with the uncertainty and ambiguity of their current situation.
