[Verse 1]

It's a long road and it gets windy

Fog is real low and it's so blinding

Oh, I'm tryna steer, tryna take the lead

But I feel like the road is steering me

Getting so lost, like a castaway

Feeling so crossed, like a renegade

And I'm tryna call out in the big city

Just a small voice and no one's listening to me


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh-oh, tell me where to go

Tell me that you know just how bright I glow


[Chorus]

Every time that you think you've lost your shine

Just remember nothing's brighter

You're the city lights

Every time that you fade into the night

Just remember you're the fire

You're the city lights

That shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

Shine into the night, night, night, oh woah


[Verse 2]

Oh, I'm blending in and I'm sticking out

Like a sore thumb that they don't know about

Wanna make peace, wanna just breathe

Wanna be the light that makes them all believe

I'm the race car, not the spectator

I'm the hero, not the narrator

Hercules battling, conquering everything, yeah


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh-oh, tell me where to go

Tell me that you know just how bright I glow


[Chorus]

Every time that you think you've lost your shine

Just remember nothing's brighter (No, no)

You're the city lights (You're city lights)

Every time that you fade into the night

Just remember you're the fire (Mm)

You're the city lights

That shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

Shine into the night, night, night, oh woah


[Bridge]

Everybody knows that everybody glows like the city lights

Everybody knows that everybody glows like the city lights

Everybody knows that everybody glows like the city lights

Everybody knows that everybody glows like the city lights


[Interlude]

The city lights, oh woah, oh woah-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, city lights

You are, oh-ah


[Chorus]

Every time that you think you've lost your shine

Just remember nothing's brighter

You're the city lights (You're the city lights)

Every time that you fade into the night

Just remember you're the fire

You're the city lights

That shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh (Ooh woah, woah, woah, woah)

Shine into the night, night, night, oh woah
