City Lyrics - Michelle Branch

I don't know what it is about this city 

Every road I walk down I discover 

Little pieces I thought I never had in me 

I never had in me 

I guess you knew it all along 

That somewhere down the darkest alley is a heartbeat 

Is a heartbeat 

You remind me 

And I swear that I am walking through a daydream 

Hear your heartbeat 

That's where you're gonna find me 

Every shape and transatlantic color wrap around me 

I've discovered that I just want to get as far as I can run to From the sun in California 

I don't know how the west is ever gonna win me 

Once I'm breathing in the water 

I'm gonna drown out every sentimental memory 

Find the courage to start over 

Oh I know there's got to be a reason 

'Cause I'm always running from my life 

They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" 

But I don't know what it is about this city 

Miles away someone I know is sleeping 

In a bedroom by the window 

I guess I've always been afraid that I would miss out 

And get blown out like a candle 

And I don't know what it is about this city 

Every road I walk down I discover 

Little pieces I thought I never had in me 

I never had in me 

And it's raining here in London
