I met you on a stormy weekend
You never meant to draw the line
I saw you once, you didn't smile
Thought you needed my advice
But didn't know it
At the time

I called you in the dead of winter
You didn't even hold the line
I've seen it all, the great decline
One more troubled state of mind
What's so wrong?
Why can't you even try?

Hear me out now
A thousand miles 'round
That's the sound
Of strangers breaking new ground
It's the breakdown
Of a lifetime
Here we go now
Falling off a straight line
Lost In City Lights, Lost In City Lights

I know all about your little secrets
I felt the chills and your regrets
I heard 'em all, yeah, through the wall
While you never had a clue
And if you knew,
What would you do?

Hear me out now,
A thousand miles 'round
That's the sound
Of strangers breaking new ground
It's the breakdown
Of a lifetime
Here we go now
Falling off a straight line

I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, We're dreaming

Falling back in the days
You were doing all right
If you set in your way
Then you fade out of sight
What at first it felt wrong
It soon became right
Now the cracks on the walls
Were a map of your life
The addiction is back
And it's heavy this time
Now you're talking to
The voices through the walls
Will you make it this time?

Hear me out now
A thousand miles 'round
That's the sound
Of strangers breaking new ground
It's the breakdown
Of a lifetime
Here we go now
Falling of a straight line

The addiction is back
And it's heavy this time
Now you're talking to
The voices through the walls
Will you make it this time?

'Cause I don't wanna know
What's the sound of
Strangers breaking new ground
Lost In City Lights
Here we go now
Falling off a straight line
