take back the city for
yourself tonight
or ill take back the city for me
take back the city for
yourself tonight
whoa

god knows you put your
life into its hands
and its both cradled
you and crushed
but now its time to make
your own demands
whoa

all these years later
and its killing me
your broken records in words
ten thousand craters
where it all should be
whoa

no need to put your words
into my mouth
dont need convincing at all
i love this place enough
to know i have no doubts
whoa

its a mess, its a start
its a flawed work of art
your city, your a call
every crack, every wall
pick a side, pick a fight
get your epitaph right
you can sing,til you drop
cause the fun just never stops

i love this city tonight
i love this city always
it bears its teeth like a light
and spits me out after days
but were all gluttons for it
we know whats wrong and its right
for every time its been hit
take back the city tonight

tell me you never wanted
more than this
and i will stop talking now
one perfect partner,
one eternal kiss
whoa

take back the city for
yourself tonight
or ill take back the city for me
take back the city for
yourself tonight
whoa

its a mess, its a start
its a flawed work of art
your city, your call
every crack, every wall
pick a side, pick a fight
get your epitaph right
you can sing,til you drop
cause the fun just never stops

i love this city tonight
i love this city always
it bears its teeth like a light
and spits me out after days
but were all gluttons for it
we know whats wrong and its right
for every time its been hit
take back the city tonight

i love this city tonight
i love this city always
it bears its teeth like a light
and spits me out after days
but were all gluttons for it
we know whats wrong and its right
for every time its been hit
take back the city tonight

i love this city tonight
i love this city always
i love this city tonight
i love this city always
