[Verse 1]

Lost in the ditty

Fallin' through the city

Searchin' for skyline lights

Searchin' for skyline rights

[Verse 2]

The sidewalks come up to talk

They never let me walk

Brushin' by hopeless stops

Uttered with deafless pops

[Verse 3]

Who would leave our city

Making it far less pretty?

Takin' away the sounds

Packin' on our pounds

[Chorus]

Skyline lights did not appear

But I soon found that the sun grows near

The hope is here but forgotten

I check my back quite often

[Verse 4]

The buildings are my jungle

Throwing me in a tumble

Their peaks are great, I appreciate

The beauty that is my fate

[Verse 5]

The style is disconcerting

But I swear that I'm still learning

The walls collapse as I relapse

Relieved by covers of smooth whitecaps

[Chorus]

Skyline lights did not appear

But I soon found that the sun grows near

The hope is here but forgotten

I check my back quite often

[Bridge]

Some will say

Some will say

But as I find I don't heed their time

I'd rather bring it back to mine

Some will say, oh

Some will say

But as I find I don't heed their time

I'd rather bring it back to mine

[Verse 6]

My train of thought lingers

I count between my fingers

The number of dates that sealed all the gates

That will make us be late

That will make us be late

That will make us be late
