Lyrics : [Verse 1] I saw your shadow on an empty train, A fading picture through the window rain, The streets were glowing underneath the blue, Every road I took was leading back to you. Your old perfume still haunts the room, Like a dying rose that refuses to lose its bloom, I tell myself that time will make me strong, But every night still knows where you belong. [Pre-Chorus] And I can run, I can hide, I can bury what I feel inside, But when the noise disappears, Your voice is all I hear. [Chorus] When the city sleeps, I call your name, Through the neon lights, through the pouring rain, If love is gone, why does my heart Still beat like we’re not worlds apart? When the city sleeps, I feel you near, Like a ghost of everything we held so dear, And though tomorrow pulls me on, Some part of me still waits for you to come home. [Verse 2] I kept the key you left beside the door, Though I don’t know what I’m keeping it for, Some things are harder to throw away Than all the promises we couldn’t make. The radio plays our forgotten song, Three minutes telling me where we went wrong, I close my eyes, but I already know Some memories never learn to let you go. [Pre-Chorus] And I can run, I can hide, I can tell myself I’m doing fine, But when the world disappears, Your voice is all I hear. [Chorus] When the city sleeps, I call your name, Through the neon lights, through the pouring rain, If love is gone, why does my heart Still beat like we’re not worlds apart? When the city sleeps, I feel you near, Like a ghost of everything we held so dear, And though tomorrow pulls me on, Some part of me still waits for you to come home. [Bridge – Guitar Solo] Maybe love was never meant to stay, Maybe some flames just burn away, But if there’s a road beyond the night, I’ll follow every fading light. [Final Chorus – soaring] When the city sleeps, I call your name, And nothing in this world will feel the same, If love is gone, why does my heart Still beat like we’re not worlds apart? When the city sleeps, I feel you near, And every lonely street makes you appear, Tomorrow may carry me away… But tonight, I’m still waiting here. [Outro] When the city sleeps… I’m still waiting here.
