"City" lyrics - PUP
I was on the outside
I was looking in like a deer in the headlights
Stuck in slow motion like I was on the turnpike
No ability to steer
Can't shake the feeling I'm starting to disappear
[Chorus:]
I'm weighed down in this city
It's hard to live here
And I've been feeling restless
There's this battle raging in me
Don't want to love you anymore
But I can't help it
I was on the outside
Like we were at the cinema
Your face was hidden
Behind the camera
I think I love you
More than I'd admit
And I was not prepared
To be seeing you like this
[Chorus:]
And I'm weighed down in this city
It's hard to live here
And I've been feeling restless
There's this battle raging in me
Don't want to love you anymore
But I can't help it
[Bridge:]
And between you and me
This city's been slowly poisoning me
And as I rip deeper into its scales
It rots beneath my fingernails
And when I try to claw out of the pit
All I do is get sucked back in
Don't want to love you anymore
But I just can't help it
[Breakdown:]
And I'm weighed down in this city
And I've been feeling restless
There's this battle raging in me
Don't want to love you anymore
But I can't help it
[Outro:]
And I'm weighed down in this city
Don't want to love you anymore
