Walking in london like I did as a child

I feel the cool air on the back of my neck

I am passing through the neighbourhood where I grew up

It doesn't feel like it used to

Doesn't feel like it used to.

Did I try to control you?

Yeah, I get lost in my own world

So I go through all the words I ever said

And it feels like the world is crashing down.

Let's light up the city

Yeah, the buildings ain't so pretty

Let's have the time of our lives.

We've never been closer than

We've never been closer than now

Closer than we ever dreamed of

We've never been closer than now.

These are the days of excess

You want the moon 'cause it's been calling you.

So let's light up the city

The buildings ain't so pretty

And we're having the time of our lives.

We've never been closer than

We've never been closer than now

Closer than we ever dreamed of

We've never been closer than now.

We've never been closer than

We've never been closer than now.

Closer than we ever dreamed of

We've never been closer than now.

Walking through london like I did as a child

Yeah, the spotlight can't keep up with us no more

I feel the cool air on the back of my neck

Yeah, it's you that can turn this world around.
