This city never sleeps

This city never sleeps but it sure knows how to sleep tonight
And my heart knows how to beat but it don't know how to beat right
And I can see the streets but I can't see the street signs

With my eyes on the sidewalk
I was lost, it was so dark
I'm alone, I'm alive

And my hope still scrapes the sky
Like all these buildings I will try
To leave the world behind 'til my head is clear
Draw a new skyline, and change my atmosphere

It's different now I swear
There's something in the air tonight
And I can only stare at the glimmer of the night lights
And what I used to be scared of is making me aware of why

I lift my eyes from the sidewalk
I was lost, it was so dark
I'm alone, I'm alive

And my hope still scrapes the sky
Like all these buildings I will try
To leave the world behind 'til my head is clear
Draw a new skyline, and change my atmosphere
Yeah, yeah, I'll change my atmosphere

My hope still scrapes the sky
Like all these buildings I will try
To leave the world behind 'til my head is clear

Oh yeah my hope still scrapes the sky
Like all these buildings I will try
To leave the world behind 'til my head is clear
Draw a new skyline, and change my atmosphere
I'll change my atmosphere
I'll change my atmosphere

This city, this city never sleeps (yeah)
This city never sleeps (yeah)
This city never sleeps
This city never sleeps
