So this is what you meant When you said that you were spent And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit Right to the top Don't hold back Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
I don't ever want to let you down I don't ever want to leave this town 'Cause after all This city never sleeps at night
It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Now don't you understand That I'm never changing who I am
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back I tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will all be over, buried with our past You used to play outside when you were young, Full of life and full of love
Some days I feel like I am wrong and I am right I don't ever want to let you down, Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear I don't ever want to leave this town,
Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry Cause after all This city never sleeps at night.. Our bodies safe to shore.
This road never looked so lonely, This house doesn't burn down slowly To ashes, to ashes...
It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger, but then, I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was Now don't you understand That I'm never changing who I am?
Don't listen to a word I say Hey! The streets of Solomon sang Hey!
'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry Our bodies safe to shore
