city lights Lyrics – Abdullah Siddiqui

city lights Lyrics

My hand out the window of your car
It feels like astral projection
I feel so dumb and you can tell
Remember you’re my protection
Nothing feels real except myself
We walk through the busy street market
I want to punch your arm, but I
I don’t know why, and that’s the hardest part
At the loud intersection, I’m ready to unload
Bring up all of my shit, I don’t wanna take that road

But in the quiet moments, unheld hands
Hanging words and unkept plans
Reverberate
I fade away
Like the city lights at the end of the tunnel

Quiet moments, dark and still
I stand alone and I always will
Reverberate
I fade away
Like the city lights at the end of the tunnel

Your brain’s a spreadsheet, meanwhile mine
Is just a pseudo sound poem
These people don’t run out of words
We flick our ash like we don’t know ‘em
I cry too much, it’s getting old
But you’re too nice, so you join in
You can’t put down your phone and I’m
Secure, I know you’re not avoiding me
But one day you will and I’m crying to rehearse

Quiet moments, unheld hands
Hanging words and unkept plans
Reverberate
I fade away
Like the city lights at the end of the tunnel

Quiet moments, dark and still
I stand alone and I always will
Reverberate
I fade away
Like the city lights at the end of the tunnel

You hold your breath for the Volta
But I won’t read it forever so,
You’ll keep me around till we’re older
Cause I can’t handle this alone

You hold your breath for the Volta
But I won’t read it forever so,
You’ll keep me around till we’re older
Cause I can’t handle

In the quiet moments, unheld hands
Hanging words and unkept plans
Reverberate
I fade away
Like the city lights at the end of the tunnel

Quiet moments, dark and still
I stand alone and I always will
Reverberate
I fade away
Like the city lights at the end of the tunnel
