Big City Lullaby - Aesthetische, Ayria

Memorizing city lights of all the places I have been

Nothing like adrenaline highs, but coming down almost kills me

Love the places, know the faces, but the names are all a blur

It’s hard to hold on when you forget where you are and where you were

Everybody wants to live their life in the spotlight

One day at a time, I just want to live for tonight

Standing here with you, I don’t want you to see that I’m terrified

Is this what you expected?

Can’t you see it’s all smoke and lights?

I know it’s getting late but please don’t go

There is still so much more of the show

I know there’ll be a thousand more goodbyes

Before they dim the lights

I’ve realized that all I’ve wanted is right here in front of me

I said that to you;

you laughed, but it was something that I do believe in

It’s nice to meet you, share this moment;

please don’t stand so close to me

Keep your distance when it’s over, I’m afraid you’ve stolen part of me

Everybody wants to live their life in the spotlight

One day at a time, I just want to live for tonight

Standing here with you, I don’t want you to see that I’m terrified

Is this what you expected?

Can’t you see it’s all smoke and lights?

I know it’s getting late but please don’t go

There is still so much more of the show

I hope there’ll be a thousand more goodbyes

Before they dim the lights

This path will soon be ending

And will you stay with me?

It’s only us left standing;

will I find it hard to breathe?

And it has not been easy when I’m lost and in my mind

Separate worlds divided;

my mind’s been there all the time

City lights flash by me

And I don’t know where I am

Before tonight they’ll love me

But when I’m gone they’ll just forget

You know me better than all this

You’ve seen me on the edge of a world that tried to leave me with an open wound

again

My heart;

you’ll want to stay forever

All this just so I can live forever

Immortalized;

forever here

In time, you’ll understand
