City by the Sea

My life and your life, we're just like

Two ghost ships in the night

Just like two ghost ships

Floating worlds apart

These strange lights

They drown the dark, they make me numb

Tell me, am I the only one?

Tell me, am I the only one to drift apart?

In the city by the sea

In a forest of electric trees we hide

Wade out into the night

Play the distance game 'til your out of sight

And you're staring down

All the high-rise windows in the dark

And you know me, my foot in the door

You know I will always be

The one that you knew before

The one who holds all your secrets dear

So remain a part of me

Or remain apart from me and disappear

Ain't it funny how we fade?

Echoes in the Milky Way

Ripples of youth

Like ships in the harbor

They go floating through

They go through you and me

City by the sea

We space out

Staring out at sea

All the darkness

Staring back at you and me

The deepest fears will always come to feed

And watch us drown

And hearts of gold

Can still sink just like a stone

In all their brilliant ways on their way down

Like a glowing piece of coal

As the furnace of the soul flickers to life

Ain't it funny how we fade?

Echoes in the Milky Way

Ripples of youth

Like ships in the harbor

Ain't it funny how we fade?

Echoes in the Milky Way

Ripples of youth

Like ships in the harbor

They go floating through

They go through you and me

City by the sea
