Under These City Lights

[Verse 1]

You came late

Same story

Phone in hand

Long sorry

Eyes on mine

Hands shaking

Said my name like a prayer you’re breaking

I remember

Every promise

Every small disaster

But your shadow

Still leans in

Pulling me in faster

[Pre-Chorus]

You say

“Baby can we start again?”

Like all the hurt just washed away in rain

My heart is stubborn

Still it beats your name

Still it beats your name

[Chorus]

Under these city lights

I forgive you

All of the wrongs

I still choose you

We got a past

But I see through

Tonight I’m falling back into you

Under these city lights

I believe you

Words in your mouth feel brand new

Hold me so close

Let the dark move

Tonight I’m learning how to trust you

Under these city lights

I forgive you

[Verse 2]

Slow dance on the cracked pavements

Street vendors closing

Late payments

You laugh low

Say I’m your home

Even when you stray too far

You roam

I remember

Silent nights and my tears on pillows

But your heartbeat

On my chest turns the pain to echoes

[Pre-Chorus]

You say

“Baby

I will do you right”

Your fingertips are tracing every lie

My body answers first before my mind

Still your hand finds mine

[Chorus]

Under these city lights

I forgive you

All of the wrongs

I still choose you

We got a past

But I see through

Tonight I’m falling back into you

Under these city lights

I believe you

Words in your mouth feel brand new

Hold me so close

Let the dark move

Tonight I’m learning how to trust you

Under these city lights

I forgive you

[Bridge]

Slowly

Slowly

Let it go (let it go)

All the stories I replay alone (mmh)

If you love me

Say it low

Say it slow

Right here

Right now

Make it show (hey)

[Chorus]

Under these city lights

I forgive you

All of the wrongs

I still choose you

We got a past

But I see through

Tonight I’m falling back into you

Under these city lights

I believe you

Words in your mouth feel brand new

Hold me so close

Let the dark move

Tonight I’m learning how to trust you

Under these city lights

I forgive you (forgive you)

Under these city lights

I still choose you (oh yeah)
