Take Back The City lyrics

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight

God knows you put your
life in two a times
And it’s both cradled you and crushed
But now it’s time to
make your own demands

All these years later
and it’s killing me
Your broken records and words
Ten thousand craters
where it all should be

No need to put your words into my mouth
Don’t need convincing at all
I love this place enough
to have no doubt

It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing ‘til you drop
Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days

But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

Tell me you never wanted more from this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight

It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing ‘til you drop
Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days

But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
