Take Back the City

Take back the city for yourself tonight

Or I'll take back the city for me

Take back the city for yourself tonight

Whoa

God knows you put your life in two a times

And it's both cradled you and crushed

But now it's time to make your own demands

Whoa

All these years later and it's killin' me

Your broken records and words

Ten thousand craters where it all should be

Whoa

No need to put your words into my mouth

Don't need convincin' at all

I love this place enough to have no doubt

Whoa

It's a mess, it's a start, it's a flawed work of art

Your city, your call, every crack, every wall

Pick a side, pick a fight, get your epitaph right

You can sing till you drop 'cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight, I love this city always

It bears its teeth like a light and spits me out after days

But we're all gluttons for it, we know what's wrong and what's right

For every time it's been hit, take back the city tonight

Tell me you never wanted more than this

And I will stop talkin' now

One perfect partner, one eternal kiss

Whoa

Take back the city for yourself tonight

Or I'll take back the city for me

Take back the city for yourself tonight

Whoa

It's a mess, it's a start, it's a flawed work of art

Your city, your call, every crack, every wall

Pick a side, pick a fight, get your epitaph right

You can sing till you drop 'cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight, I love this city always

It bears its teeth like a light and spits me out after days

But we're all gluttons for it, we know what's wrong and what's right

For every time it's been hit, take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight, I love this city always

It bears its teeth like a light and spits me out after days

But we're all gluttons for it, we know what's wrong and what's right

For every time it's been hit, take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight, I love this city always

I love this city tonight, I love this city always
