This city never sleeps I hear the people walk by when it's late Sirens bleed through my windowsill I can't close my eyes Don't control what I'm into And this tower is alive The lights that blind, keep me awake With my hood up and lace untied Sleep fills my mind Can't control what I'm into London calls me a stranger, a traveller This is now my home, my home Oh-oh, I'm burning on the back street Oh-oh, stuck here, sitting in the backseat Oh-oh, and I'm blazing on the street What I do is not up to you 'Cause if the city never sleeps then that makes two yeah The pavement is my friend And it'll take me where I need to go I find it trips me up And puts me down This is not what I'm used to And the shop across the road Fulfils my needs and gives me company When I need it Voices speak through my walls I don't think I'm gonna make it Past tomorrow London calls me a stranger, a traveller This is now my home, my home Oh-oh, I'm burning on the back street Oh-oh, stuck here, sitting in the backseat Oh-oh, and I'm blazing on the street What I do is not up to you 'Cause if the city never sleeps then that makes two And my lungs hurt and my ears bled With the sound of the city life echoed in my head Do I need this to keep me alive? The traffic stops and starts but I need to move along I'm from a city where the rain won't cease Pollution in the air matches that on the street 'Cause the black smoke gets your head into a muddle, like Walking into elephant syringes in the puddle, like Was a country boy when I moved out Grew up too fast for my family to find out Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives Can't resort to arrogance with white lines now And this city won't erase me But I can't help to see how this dark city changed me It's all the same see, music is my life, but I try to fight whatever I need to hide from North, South, East, West, London's my home now Knees weak, but we never slow down Now I start to do my music properly And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me London calls me a stranger This is not my home now, my home Oh-oh, I'm burning on the back street Oh-oh, stuck here, sitting in the backseat Oh-oh, and I'm blazing on the street What I do is not up to you 'Cause if the city never sleeps then that makes two Oh-oh, I'm burning on the back street Oh-oh, stuck here, sitting in the backseat Oh-oh, and I'm blazing on the street What I do is not up to you 'Cause if the city never sleeps then that makes two

My lungs are black, my heart is pure My hands are scarred from nights before And my hair is thin and falling out of all the wrong places I am a little insecure My eyes are crossed, but they're still blue I bite my nails and tell the truth I go from thin to overweight, day to day, I fluctuate My skin is ink, but faded, too But she loves me, she loves me Why the hell she love me When she could have anyone else? Oh, you love me, you love me Why the hell do you love me? 'Cause I don't even love myself Baby, the best part of me is you Lately, everything's making sense too Oh, baby, I'm so in love with you I overthink and still forgive I lose my phone and place my bits And I never catch the train on time Always 30 minutes behind Your worries ain't seen nothin' yet But you love me, you love me Why the hell you love me so When you could have anyone else? Yeah, he loves me, he loves me And I bet he never lets me go And shows me how to love myself 'Cause, baby, the best part of me is you Lately, everything's making sense too Baby, I'm so in love with you With you Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum Baby, the best part of me is you (woah-oh-oh-oh) Lately, everything's making sense too Oh, baby, I'm so in love with you (ooh) Baby, I'm so in love with you (yeah, yeah) Baby, I'm so in love with you
