You said you'd never live a life of pretending

But the lights in my room are so loud

Bad dreams in the summer

And I was never enough, never enough on my own.

I hear your name out in the streets and alleyways

I see you face in every little bit of rain

Always out of reach

Close enough for me.

And the more you try to be yourself

The more you turn into someone else

You carry the world on your shoulders

If I could do it again I'd do it again on my own.

I hear your name out in the streets and alleyways

I see you face in every little bit of rain

Always out of reach

Close enough for.

No sleep in the city

Slow trains passing by

No lights in your building

No sleep tonight.

I hear your name out in the streets and alleyways

I see you face in every little bit of rain

Always out of reach

Close enough for me.
