this city never sleeps

this city never sleeps but it sure knows how to sleep tonight, and my heart knows how to beat but it don't know how to beat right, and i can see the streets but i can't see the street signs, with my eyes on the sidewalk, i was lost, it was so dark, i'm alone, i'm alive, and my hope still scrapes the sky, like all these buildings i will try, to leave the world behind until my head is clear, draw a new skyline. and change my atmosphere, it's different now i swear, there's something in the air tonight, and i can only stare at the glimmer of the night lights, and what i used to be scared of is making me aware of why, i lift my eyes from the sidewalk, i was so lost, it was dark, i'm alone, i'm alive, and my hope still scrapes the sky, like all these buildings i will try, to leave the world behind until my head is clear, draw a new skyline. and change my atmosphere, yeah, yeah, i'll change my atmosphere, my hope still scrapes the sky, like all these buildings i will try, to leave the world behind until my head is clear, oh yeah my hope still scrapes the sky, like all these buildings i will try, to leave the world behind until my head is clear, draw a new skyline. and change my atmosphere, i'll change my atmosphere, i'll change my atmosphere, this city, this city never sleeps, this city never sleeps, this city never sleeps, this city never sleeps
