"One Day Left" lyrics

"One Day Left"

I measure life in coffee cups
I spend the day alone too much
I call and call, you're never there
Wait for your shadow on the stairs
I disappear in subway light
And I'm too weary for the fight
This city takes its toll on me
Where is the one I used to be?

We drink the night until the day
You sleep with me but you don't stay
I feel time race when I'm with you
I lose my place when I'm with you

Hold our breath
When the sirens are calling our name
We got one day left in the city
We gotta hold our breath
When the sirens are calling our name
We got one day left in the city
We got one day left

I measure life in grams and bags
Sunday sunset how it drags
I'm tired of looking for a sign
I'm not yours and you're not mine

One trick, one line, one for the weekend
It's not the love it seems you're seeking
Hold on, have faith, come back to me
It's over now - go on be free

Hold our breath
When the sirens are calling our name
We got one day left in the city
We gotta hold our breath
When the sirens are calling our name
We got one day left in the city
We got one day left

Didn't feel lost 'til I didn't have you
Cities behind and upfront's all blue
I hear you climbing up my back stairs
I turn around and you're there
I turn around and you're there
I turn around and you're there
