Hold tight the futures bright Pens in your hands so don't stop writing now, writing now It's easy to feel lost when you hit downtown with all these strangers round, strangers around Look at the sky (When you're all alone) Every night, (I'll leave my light on) So you can see your way home Caught up in those pretty city lights Wishing on a star for your direction Thinking of a new and different life Babe I know this one ain't what you've been dreaming You keep hearing promises That don't play out I'm sorry if it let you down, I let you down I know what the heart can take All I ask is you don't throw us away, throw us away Look at the sky (When you're all alone) Every night, (I'll leave my light on) So you can see your way home Caught up in those pretty city lights Wishing on a star for your direction
Thinking of a new and different life Cause babe I know this one ain't what you've been dreaming Oh celebrities ain't rodeo These dirty streets ain't paved with gold But darling I hope you find Those city lights Those city lights Sorry babe but I just can't share you Want you so bad babe I need you Screaming out please don't go, please don't go Please come home, please come home [x2] Caught up in those pretty city lights Wishing on a star for your direction Thinking of a new and different life Cause babe I know this one ain't what you've been dreaming Oh celebrities ain't rodeo These dirty streets ain't paved with gold But darling I hope you find Those city lights... Those city lights... Those city lights... Hope you find 'em... Hope you find 'em...
