City Songtext
von Michelle Branch

I don′t know what it is about this city
Every road I walk down I discover
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
I never had in me
I guess you knew it all along that somewhere down the darkest alley is a heartbeat
Is a heartbeat
You remind me
And I swear that I am looking through a daydream
Hear your heartbeat
That's where you′re gonna find me

Every shape and transatlantic color wrap around me
I've discovered that I just wanna get as far as I can run to from the sun in California
I don't know how the West is ever gonna win me
Once I′m breathing in the water
I′m gonna drown out every sentimental memory
Find the courage to start over


Oh, I know there's gotta be a reason
′Cause I'm always running from my life
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
But I don′t know what it is about this city

Miles away someone I know is sleeping
In a bedroom, by the window
I guess I've always been afraid that I would miss out
And get blown out like a candle
And I don′t know what it is about this city
Every road I walk down I discover
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
I never had in me
And it's raining here in London

Oh, I know there's gotta be a reason
′Cause I′m always running from my life
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
But I don't know what it is about this city
