"The City" lyrics

"The City"

I was walking by my old house when you turned around
Smoking a clove cigarette that you put out on the ground
You were wearing Doc Martens and a plaid mini skirt
And I knew in that moment that you could better the hurt

I said let's get out of this broken town
Everyone is lost that I have found
So grab the keys, let's get away

Let's just drive to the city
To see the golden lights
Let's just drive to the city tonight
Never look back, never look back
Never look back again
Let's just drive to the city tonight

We got out of the car, walked into the club
You started dancing and living it up
Tonight is some kinda heaven, I'm in some kinda love
If I had rights, you'd have read 'em cause you own what I'm made of

I said let's get out of this broken town
Everyone is lost that I have found
So grab the keys, let's get away

Let's just drive to the city
To see the golden lights
Let's just drive to the city tonight
Never look back, never look back
Never look back again
Let's just drive to the city tonight

So take my hand
And marry me tonight
Take my hand
And marry me, marry me

Let's just drive to the city
To see the golden lights
Let's just drive to the city tonight
Never look back, never look back
Never look back again
Let's just drive to the city tonight

Let's just drive to the city
To see the golden lights
Let's just drive to the city tonight
