Hard In The City
jon-rae and the river Lyrics

I had tears in my eyes watching them kiss
Witnessing the affectionate display between them, I was moved to tears.

In the glitter themed room dancing to Prince
They were dancing to Prince's music in a room adorned with glitter, creating an atmosphere of joy and celebration.

Not the dirty things that people seem to think
Contrary to misconceptions, it was not about engaging in promiscuous activities, but rather about genuine emotional connections.

I had tears in my eyes looking at you
Just gazing at you filled my eyes with tears, overwhelmed by the depth of my emotions.

Happy not to be the only gay in the room
I felt a sense of happiness and acceptance, no longer the sole representative of the LGBTQ+ community in that space.

And all the beautiful things that you could do
I admired and appreciated your incredible talent and abilities, recognizing the beauty within you.

Cuz I've been in love in the city
I have experienced the profound feeling of love within the bustling urban environment.

Oh but I lost that feeling
Regrettably, I have since lost that intense emotional connection.

Oh it was so hard leaving
Leaving behind the city, where love once thrived, was an incredibly difficult experience.

And I'd give everything to hold you
I would willingly sacrifice everything in order to be able to hold you, to be close to you once again.

Your soft skin babe and all your tattoos
I long for the comforting touch of your soft skin and the visual artistry displayed by your tattoos.

After nights out loving like we used to do
Recalling the nights we spent passionately loving each other, just as we did in the past.

I remember the night the way I felt
That night remains etched in my memory, capturing the exact emotions I experienced.

Happier than life I could be myself
I felt an indescribable happiness, fully embracing my true self without any inhibitions.

Dancing in a room with only you I have to tell
As we danced together in that intimate space, I felt compelled to share a confession with you.

I remember the night when I met you
The night we crossed paths is vivid in my mind, forever imprinted as a significant moment.

Prettier than life lighting up the room
Your radiant presence illuminated the entire room, surpassing the ordinary beauty of life.

Nothings ever made me feel the way you do
I have never experienced anything that evoked the same level of emotion and intensity as you do.

All of the moments, all of the memories
Every single moment and memory we shared together.

It was easier back then
In retrospect, those times felt less complicated and burdensome.

Oh baby the freedom in all of my being
The liberating feeling that encompassed my entire existence when I was with you, my beloved.

I want it all over again
I desire to relive and experience everything we had once more.

We were in love in the city love in the city
Our love blossomed amidst the bustling streets and vibrant atmosphere of the city.

We were in love in the city love in the city
Our affection for each other thrived within the urban landscape, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts.

We were in love in the city love in the city
Our love story unfolded amidst the energy and excitement of the city, forging a unique connection.

We were in love in the city love in the city
The city became the backdrop to our love, symbolizing the vibrant and dynamic nature of our relationship.
