In a city like mine there's no point in fighting I close my eyes, see you and me driving If I am a river, you are the ocean Got the radio on, got the wheels in motion We were silenced by the night But you and I, we're gonna rise again Divided from the light I wanna love the way we used to then I lie in the dark, I feel I'm falling Feel your hand on my back, hear your voice calling I'm out of my depth girl, stick close to me Because the people in this town, they look straight through me We were silenced by the night But you and I, we're gonna rise again Divided from the light I wanna love the way we used to then 'Cause baby, I'm not scared of this world when you're here No baby, I'm not scared of this world when you're here Oh, you and I, we're gonna rise again Oh, you and I, we're gonna rise again We were silenced by the night But you and I, we're gonna rise again Divided from the light I wanna love the way we used to then
