My City
All the lights went down
Everything went dark
Just the sound of wind
Against abandoned cars
Buildings black as caves
Subways buried below
No parking signs
Where weeds now grow
This place is empty
When you’re not here
This place is empty
When you’re not around
My city was alive but the plug’s been pulled
Nothing here matters when it’s without you
It’s so cold and it’s hard like a parking lot
Nothing here matters when it’s without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Tilted corridors
Down at City Hall
Foundations dug out
To build an anything goes
I know you love this town
That’s why you had to go
Love can let love twist
Into a suicide note
This place is empty
When you’re not around
My city was alive but the plug’s been pulled
Nothing here matters when it’s without you
It’s so cold and it’s hard like a parking lot
Nothing here matters when it’s without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
But you’ve got to come back
You can make it right
Now that the city lost its power
It can see your light
Freedom is a lady with the torches of hope
You’ve always been everything
We wanted more, more, more, more
You
You
You
You
My city was alive but the plug’s been pulled
Nothing here matters when it’s without you
It’s cold and it’s hard like a parking lot
Nothing here matters when it’s without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
