You lie awake, the city sleeps
You are a long way from here
Your head is full of city streets
You're gonna make it out of here
That night, that night
Our hearts were restless
Your eyes, your eyes
Were full of city lights
Fight or flight
The city floods the night you leave
I remember freckled knees
You've got your heart set on city streets
And now you've made it out
I could've asked you not to leave, but...
That night, that night
Our hearts were restless
Your eyes, your eyes
Were full of city lights
Fight or flight
And years from now, we both will feel a pull
From something we used to know
And years from now, we will start thinking back
To how we used to feel
We will remember sleepless nights
And then I'll see you again
You will be old but just as pretty
You will have lost all your dreams, and you...
You will not be the only one
I will be old and still not pretty
But I'll be happy and I...
I will see you again
