This is my stomping ground
These are the roads I walk home
Out here where the streets unwind
Keeping the city lights on
Leaving's not the same
As being left behind
I found my own path in life
Passed up the suit and tie
I found a way
Of escaping the 9 to 5
But to judge you on your own life
That's not for me to say
I've seen this happen before
But I won't let it change me
Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
To get you through the dark times
Trends and phases come and go
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes
This is my stomping ground
And one day I'll settle down
But not for a while
Out here, where the streets unwind
And lead me to peace of mind
Away from the city lights
Leaving's not the same
As being left behind
(but we turn new pages
In our lives.)
Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
To get you through the dark times
Trends and phases come and go
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes
Your eyes
City lights bring me home, the streets unwind
I found my own path to peace of mind
It's not over yet
City lights bring me home
The streets unwind
And leavings not the same
As being left behind
These days
These days get tough
But don't mistake love
For spoon fed lives
For spoon fed lives
These days
These days get tough
But don't mistake love
For spoon fed lives
For spoon fed lives
These days
These days get tough
But don't mistake love
For spoon fed lives
These days
These days get tough
But don't mistake love
For spoon fed lives
For spoon fed lives
(don't mistake love
Don't mistake love)
Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
To get you through the dark times
Trends and phases come and go
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes
Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
To get you
To get you
Trends and phases come and go
Connect with a world you barely even know
You even know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes
Your eyes
