lyrics

'the city's nice tonight.' a casual remark
he said, 'why should you be surprised?
'some things are better in the dark.'
and she just rolled her eyes
and put her window down
she swung her arm into the breeze
it pushed her hand around

and they both knew in their own way it was over

up on the boulevard in towering hotels
it seems the whole world is on holiday
pretending all is well

she wants a piece of it. he wants to tear it down
this tragic world of make-believe
thin skin on empty ground

he was hoping it'd work out
he went all in. no going back now
it looks like he's here to stay

she was hoping it'd work out
she went all in. no going back now
they both know it's not ok. it's not ok.

in all the city lights none of the stars show much
there are no constellations in the sky
the moon keeps lonely watch
and when he spoke again it was too low to catch
oh but it didn't matter anyway
she didn't ask what he said
