This city Has so many bright lights And 3.8 million people That live in it Some nights I go out Frequent bars that are too loud Drink whiskey that is too strong Try to drown out the noise in my head with greetings And meaningless conversation Some nights I go out Always secretly hoping In the back of my mind That maybe I'll run into you I can almost swear That I see you Every single time And I do I see you In faces of strangers In smiles unfamiliar In shoulders that accidentally brush my own I mistake each one of them for you Maybe it's because everyone has the same stupid haircut as you do Or dresses in that vintage way that you like to Whatever it is I cannot stop seeing you I cannot stop seeing the ghost of what never was The fact that our vessel had been abandoned long before setting sail How your promises always read false Your intentions never true The reality that you Are never going to be mine And I Am never going to be Yours You have already forgotten me And I Am trying so hard to forget you But in this city There are so many bright lights And neon signs That I am often blinded by hope My imagination Makes you reappear suddenly And I start to see things That aren't there Put you in spaces Where I know you don't belong In this city Filled with millions All of them wandering aimlessly I can only wonder If your heart jumps out of your chest When you see blonde hair and red lipstick I have always been lost And I can only wonder If you ever find me If maybe you stopped looking A long time ago Or if you never even searched In the first place Regardless I still manage to see you Everywhere I can only wonder Where you are Tonight And if you see me Too.
