This is my stomping ground,
these are the roads I walk home.
Out here where the streets unwind
keeping the city lights on
Leaving's not the same
as being left behind
I found my own path in life,
passed up the suit and tie.
I found a way
of escaping the 9 to 5.
But to judge you on your own life,
that's not for me to say
I've seen this happen before
but I won't let it change me.
Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
to get you through the dark times.
Trends and phases come and go.
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes.
This is my stomping ground
and one day I'll settle down,
but not for a while
out here, where the streets unwind
and lead me to peace of mind,
away from the city lights
Leaving's not the same
as being left behind,
(but we turn new pages
in our lives.)
Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
to get you through the dark times.
Trends and phases come and go,
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes,
your eyes.
City lights bring me home, the streets unwind.
I found my own path to peace of mind.
It's not over yet
City lights bring me home.
The streets unwind
and leavings not the same
as being left behind.
These days
these days get tough,
but don't mistake love
for spoon fed lives,
for spoon fed lives
These days
these days get tough,
but don't mistake love
for spoon fed lives,
for spoon fed lives
These days
these days get tough,
but don't mistake love
for spoon fed lives
These days
these days get tough,
but don't mistake love
for spoon fed lives,
for spoon fed lives
(don't mistake love,
don't mistake love)
Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
to get you through the dark times.
Trends and phases come and go.
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes.
Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
to get you
to get you
Trends and phases come and go.
Connect with a world you barely even know
You even know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes.
your eyes.
