Sara Bareilles Lyrics
"Bright Lights And Cityscapes"

Hold my breath and I'll count to ten
I'm the paper and you're the pen
You fill me in, you are permanent
And you leave me to dry
I'm the writer and she's the muse
I'm the one that you always choose
She will falter and gift her blame
And it starts all over again
Again, again, again, again

She is bright lights and cityscapes
And white lies and cavalcades
And she'll take all you ever have
But I'm gonna love you
You say maybe it will last this time
But I'm gonna love you
You never have to ask
I'm gonna love you
'Til you start looking back
I'm gonna love you so right
I wouldn't need a second chance

Shield your eyes from the truth at end
Tell me why it'll be good again
All those demons are closing in
And I don't want you to burn
Never mind what I said before
I don't want any less, any more
You are carbon and I am flame
I will rise and you will remain

For bright lights and cityscapes
And landslides and mascarades
And she'll take all you ever have
But I'm gonna love you
You say maybe it will last this time
But I'm gonna love you
You never have to ask
I'm gonna love you
'Til you start looking back
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
