I walk by the glow of lonely street lights Retracing your footsteps , wondering where you've gone You always wanted to get lost in unfamiliar cities Did you lose your way back home ? The chatter of strangers deafening me , voices of a thousand people (but none of them yours) Did you get lost in the sea of lost souls ? And lights always glimmered in your eyes Did the city draw you in ? They seem brighter than ever blinding me Mocking me This hollow town a painful reminder that you've gone.

The city lights
I walk by the glow of lonely street lights Retracing your footsteps , wondering where you've gone You always wanted to get lost in unfamiliar cities Did you lose your way back home ? The chatter of strangers deafening me , voices of a thousand people (but none of them yours) Did you get lost in the sea of lost souls ? And lights always glimmered in your eyes Did the city draw you in ? They seem brighter than ever blinding me Mocking me This hollow town a painful reminder that you've gone.
