"Lion" lyrics

It's way past midnight and she's still up thinking
Heavy hearted and got trouble sleeping
Feeling so low and alone again

A room with a view but nobody can see her
One tiny window where dreams disappear
As they fall to the floor
In her heart and her soul
I can hear her saying

I want to run through the streets like a lion
Make this city my jungle, I won't sleep tonight
I'm chasing the bright lights

I want to run through the streets like a lion
Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free tonight
I'm chasing the big bright lights

Four paper walls and a fan on the ceiling
Feels like a trap with no way to get out
She's got to find a way somehow

Keys in her hand as she heads for the front door
One last look at a room she's so over
There's a voice saying go
In her heart and her soul
I can hear her saying

I want to run through the streets like a lion
Make this city my jungle, I won't sleep tonight
I'm chasing the bright lights

I want to run through the streets like a lion
Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free tonight
I'm chasing the big bright lights

Chasing the big bright lights
Chasing the big bright lights
I'm chasing the big bright lights

(I hear her, I hear her saying)

I've been here too long in this cage (I hear her)
Give me just one night to escape (I hear her saying)
Won't let the fear take anything (I hear her)
I won't be the one to give it power (I hear her saying)
Too many times I've settled for less (I hear her)
Tearing a hole in my happiness (I hear her saying)
To be free you've got to be sure (I hear her)
Sometimes you'll lose what you were before (I hear her saying)
Now hear me roar

So take a listen tonight
In the city you'll find
She got nothing to hide
I can still hear her saying

I want to run through the streets like a lion
Make this city my jungle, I won't sleep tonight
I'm chasing the bright lights

I want to run through the streets like a lion
Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free tonight (roam with the wild ones)
I'm chasing the big bright lights

Chasing the big bright lights (I hear her)
Chasing the big bright lights (I hear her saying)
Chasing the big bright lights (run like a lion, baby)
Chasing the big bright lights (she wants to run like a lion)
Chasing the big bright lights
She wants to run like a lion
