London Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, how I wish I could drag you down here
Pull these feet far from the ground
Because this, this city ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no friend
[Verse 1]
All I can do
When the tracks stop at the final destination
Is just push on through
The weariness and silences of such a crowded situation here
All I can do
When every brick, every bar, every elegance I see
I see her face
Is just push on, just push on through
These embers are memories that float from the fire
From the fire of this place
[Refrain]
So don't give up on me now
Oh these legs that'll walk me home
Because it's only concrete and cars oh
It's only sirens and missing stars
It's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when I feel alone
Oh, how I wish I could drag you down here
Pull these feet far from the ground
Because this, this city ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no friend
[Verse 1]
All I can do
When the tracks stop at the final destination
Is just push on through
The weariness and silences of such a crowded situation here
All I can do
When every brick, every bar, every elegance I see
I see her face
Is just push on, just push on through
These embers are memories that float from the fire
From the fire of this place
[Refrain]
So don't give up on me now
Oh these legs that'll walk me home
Because it's only concrete and cars oh
It's only sirens and missing stars
It's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when I feel alone
[Verse 2]
All I can do
When these lights
They haunt me like orchids in a graveyard here
Is just push on, just push on through
These faces of dust and stone
The dirt and bone of loss
Loss is here
Oh we're lost here
[Refrain]
So don't give up on me now
Oh these legs that'll walk me home
Because it's only concrete and cars oh
It's only sirens and missing stars
Oh it's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when I feel alone
[Outro]
And I hope Paris is as beautiful as I've been told
And that everything you do is galvanised in gold
All I can do
When these lights
They haunt me like orchids in a graveyard here
Is just push on, just push on through
These faces of dust and stone
The dirt and bone of loss
Loss is here
Oh we're lost here
[Refrain]
So don't give up on me now
Oh these legs that'll walk me home
Because it's only concrete and cars oh
It's only sirens and missing stars
Oh it's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when I feel alone
[Outro]
And I hope Paris is as beautiful as I've been told
And that everything you do is galvanised in gold
