[Verse 1]

All my life, I knew inside

My one true love is the city

I stay so long that my roots had grown

Into the cracks of the concrete

I used to stay up all night worshipping the skyline

Making love to strangers to pass the time

Feeling that the best, the best was yet to come

Mistakes were always made but here they didn’t count

[Chorus]

(Metropolis)

The only home

(Metropolis)

That I wanted to know

(Metropolis)

All lonely hearts belong

(Metropolis)

We’ll come together

[Verse 2]

For every hour of every day

It lets me feel something

Crowded with life, it keeps me alive

It’s how loneliness understands me

Oh, I learned happiness here and how to be alone

And how to take it in before the moment goes

Written in space, written in the lines

The lines on my face and story of my life

[Chorus]

(Metropolis)

The only home

(Metropolis)

That I wanted to know

(Metropolis)

All lonely hearts belong

(Metropolis)

We’ll come together

[Bridge]

I wanted answers to know if its worth the fight

I wanted permanence but nothing is in this life

And all my courage couldn’t make all seem clear

If dreams are strangers, maybe I’ll find one here

City lights, city lights

Keeps me alive

[Chorus]

(Metropolis)

The only home

(Metropolis)

That I wanted to know

(Metropolis)

All lonely hearts belong

(Metropolis)

We’ll come together
