Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air It's hard Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running 'round It's funny how things never change in this old town So far From the stars And I want to tell you everything The words I never got to say the first time around And I remember everything From when we were the children playing in this fairground Wish I was there with you now If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you I saw that you moved on with someone new In the pub that we met he's got his arms around you It's so hard So hard And I want to tell you everything The words I never got to say the first time around And I remember everything From when we were the children playing in this fairground Wish I was there with you now If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you You still make me nervous when you walk in the room Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you I know that it's wrong That I can't move on But there's something 'bout you If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you You still make me nervous when you walk in the room Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you Everything comes back to you

City lights are pointing at me I close my eyes to see what you see Smoke cleared it took my breath away I crossed all seven different oceans To gather every perfect moment The brightest stars are falling down Oh love it's easy You should believe me Tonight the land of the lost belongs to me Running with my eyes shut somewhere in between In this town This town Miles away But still around Feeling the sun beneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around City lights are trying to catch me Open my eyes to see the beauty Falling stars are coming alive Oh love it's easy You should believe me In this town This town Miles away but still around Feeling the sun beneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around Black and white Blinding lights Here inside With me tonight Tonight the land of the lost belongs to me Running with my eyes shut somewhere in between In this town This town Miles away but still around Feeling the sun bneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around This town This town
