Lyrics:
The city lights feel warmer than the sunBursts of orange that bruise the sky
I can't see past tonight
Gonna get the timing right
That's why the stakes are high
The city lights vibrate
Just like terrestrial stars
My heart's a boomerang tonight
And I want to throw it far
Wanna throw it far
We run to feel the pulse
We fly just for the fall
I'm colors, you're graffiti
And we're up against the wall
Like strays we roam the streets
Our reflections in concrete
No photograph could get this moment
We're not tourists to our lives
A time like this you just own it
You don't get that many tries
The city lights vibrate,
Just like terrestrial stars
Your heart's a boomerang tonight
And you're gonna throw it far
Gonna throw it far
We scream to hear the echoes
We jump to feel the ground
You're traffic and I'm sirens
And we're the only sound
It's worth the trouble
We thrive on this mess
It's the night
It's the city
Save the best for last
I feel it all, all at once
A blank page and a painting of Pollock
Lucid thoughts blurred like an alcoholic
We're the same and the opposite
The aftershock and the collision
The deliberation, the choices, the consequence of the decision
The city lights are brighter than the moon
We're fools for the future
Oh and it's coming for us soon
Let's do it all right now
Get it while we can
Make it count for all it's worth
And never go back again
The city lights vibrate,
The edges fade to black
My heart's a boomerang tonight
And you caught it, now throw it back
Your heart's a boomerang tonight
And I caught it, now throw it back
My heart's a boomerang tonight
And you caught it, throw it back
Your heart's a boomerang tonight
I caught it, throw it back
