"lonely city" lyrics

"lonely city"

What do you want? You—you want the moon?
Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down

Raindrops got me drenched in melancholy
The sounds of the city don't sing tonight (Wait)
Rooftops ripple, blurring my peripheral
I wonder if you'll dream of me tonight

There is a piece of my mind
Always spinning with visions of you
There is a piece of the sky
Painting my heart in a sad shade of blue

I'll melt away, dissolve in the rain
On 21st Avenue
I hate the sound of music and crowds
When no one in the crowd is you, oh, oh
I walk alone, wondering if you miss me
I walk alone in my lonely city
If you were here in the rainfall with me
I wouldn't be lonely in my lonely city
I wouldn't be lonely in my—

Painting my heart in a sad shade of blue

Spilled my coffee, miniature tsunami
A wave of bitterness on the pavement (Clap, clap)
So ironic, I'm barely hanging on
Could you spare me a speck of disenchantment?

There is a piece of my mind
Always spinning with visions of you
There is a piece of the sky
Painting my heart in a sad shade of blue

I'll melt away, dissolve in the rain
On 21st Avenue
I hate the sound of music and crowds
When no one in the crowd is you, oh, oh
I walk alone, wondering if you miss me
I walk alone in my lonely city
If you were here in the rainfall with me
I wouldn't be lonely in my lonely city
I wouldn't be lonely in my lonely city
