Counting the days, as the weeks go by
Endlessly waiting on that ticket to ride
And I was being foolish to leave them behind
They made me thinking I was being blind
Oh, the city lights
They are leading me elsewhere
Going different places
Leading me nowhere
You were on the run for a better place to live
Searching for a place that from now on you'd call home
I'm feeling like a stranger, I'm feeling so alone
Oh, the city lights
They are leading me elsewhere
Going different places
Leading me nowhere
I thought I could be the one to make it anywhere
Turns out to be, I'm just a nobody somewhere
Your name is on the list
You just play the waiting game
Oh, the city lights
They are leading me elsewhere
Going different places
Leading me nowhere
