If it was any more clearer than it is right now, probably be see-through
Wouldn't be lethal, we would still be cool, hand over heart
If we could change the way that it all plays out, make this go equal
This would be a sequel, but it ain't in the cards (no way)

I can't even tell you when it changed
But I'm a stranger to this place (oh)

And this used to be our town, our town
But look at it now
It ain't no love when the lights go out in the city (yeah, yeah)
It's like we're burnin' it down, it down
Wish that I found
I guess it ain't no love when the lights go out in the city

Damn, got me like
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
Ain't no, ain't no lights in the city, oh
I swear I'm like
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
Ain't no, ain't no lights in the city, damn

Funny what you remember when it all goes down, quickly reminded
Remember you smilin', damn, I ain't seen that smile in a while
I miss that, baby, no lie
Wish we could go back, baby, one time
One time, but I, I know we'd never let go, ooh

I can't even tell you when it changed
But I'm a stranger to this place, yeah (oh)

And this used to be our town, our town (our town)
But look at it now (no love)
It ain't no love when the lights go out in the city (ain't no, oh, yeah, yeah)
It's like we're burnin' it down, it down
Wish that I found
I guess it ain't no love when the lights go out in the city

Damn, got me like
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
Ain't no, ain't no lights in the city (no lights, whoa)
I swear I'm like
Oh-whoa-oh (no, no, no, no)
Oh-whoa-oh (no, whoa-whoa)
Ain't no, ain't no lights in the city, damn

I swear I've tried, I've tried
Tryin' to find my way to you, back to us
And I've tried (oh), I've tried
Tried to find my way to you, right back to us
'Cause this used to be

And this used to be our town, our town (damn)
And look at you now
It ain't no love when the lights go out in the city (yeah, yeah)
It's like we're burnin' it down, it down
Wish that I found
I guess it ain't no love when the lights go out in the city

Damn, got me like
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
Ain't no, ain't no lights in the city (oh)
I swear I'm like
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
Ain't no, ain't no lights in the city, damn
