running hands with the night

the first picture, our first picture, still for a second wrapped in a whisper with you, viva the seine!, run the bridges, go down these boulevards again, with you, they feel so different, it's like nothing here, nothing starts, then you and me, all at once, i'm asking, you're waiting, i'm smiling, to let you know, this city is calling, springs open and holds me now, running hands with the night, my shoulders, the streets, pull me back in the light, you're gonna take me back, you're gonna take me back, back to a place that i nearly forgot, i've been pulled lace, and i've felt over, i've felt pity's touch, not just another day, just another's luck, look what it did to us, it's that slow arm of happiness, you and me holding on, i'm asking, you're waiting, i'm smiling, to let you know, this city is calling, springs open and holds me now, running hands with the night, my shoulders, the streets, pull me back in the light, just spend their time, those empty rooms emptying, they take a while, but it's a quiet fall, just slip away the last mark on the wall, i want to take a turn, i want to take this turn, end up sorry when midnight burns, out of the window, out of this madness, help me keep this chance together, it's slipping like rain on glass, it's slipping like a twisted dance, it's dying in an empty vase, it's dying 'cause you tried so hard, i'm calling home - there's no one waiting, but you wanna sleep when it all says nothing, and you wanna stop and the cord's been cut,?cause you were never connected, it had already dropped, got this pain in my chest, an arm that's numb, and he's waiting to be blown back, back tot he sun where he belongs, i'm frightened, i'm frightened, that chance has drowned in grey, i'm closing, yeah, i'm closing, 'cause love has turned to pearls, and i said thank you for the one-way steps, they told me: "there's nothing left", but they sent the salvos down, so nobody will mind, my orphaned heart got taken in, that wasn't a moment of kindness, little bird, don't just sit there, look long enough, there's sadness everywhere, open your eyes, feel something new, don't fall from the sky, before this city finds you, this city found you, in this city, you're not lost, this city found you, carry on, carry on, 'cause i'm gone, this city found you, in this city, you're not lost, this city found you
