about
See through the shine of city girls
lyrics
Resting my gaze on every face
building a mask out of pretty eyes
and I have to keep it on
forever
'cause I'm going blind
Read the writing on the wall
Wind the winter back to fall
See through the shine of city girls
islands of perfume and painted doubts
and I'll let you be this young
forever
'cause I'm older now
Everyday citizens, please
don't try to pacify me
I'm sober enough for driving
and liquored enough to lie
And I have to keep this up
forever
Sign your name right under mine
though it's dark and boiling hot
there's a cloud with silver lines
we're the only thing we got
building a mask out of pretty eyes
and I have to keep it on
forever
'cause I'm going blind
Read the writing on the wall
Wind the winter back to fall
See through the shine of city girls
islands of perfume and painted doubts
and I'll let you be this young
forever
'cause I'm older now
Everyday citizens, please
don't try to pacify me
I'm sober enough for driving
and liquored enough to lie
And I have to keep this up
forever
Sign your name right under mine
though it's dark and boiling hot
there's a cloud with silver lines
we're the only thing we got
