In The City
words & music by: Keo Nozari



I always knew one day
I'd make my escape

on my eighteenth birthday
in the city.


Oh make no mistake
I did celebrate (with cake!),
went to go get my big break

in the city.

Dreamt I'd fall in love

with the perfect one.
Hoped it'd be all I'd fantasized of
in the city.


CHORUS:


Oh, can you see me shine?
Will our stars align
in the city, in the city?


Oh, can you see me shine
against the neon lights

in the city, in the city?

VERSE 2:

So the years go by,
I'm electrified.
Oh yes, how I've come alive

in the city. (It's been good for me.)

But how I've looked for you

in those passing through,
in all the things I'd hoped we'd do
in the city.


Well, my heart light's on
but things move so quick.

I wonder if
you'll ever come along to kiss
in the city.





CHORUS 2:

Oh, can you see me shine

when millions pass you by
in the city, in the city?


Oh, can you see me shine?
Will you touch my life
in the city, in the city?



BRIDGE:


Oh is it silly
to believe

that you're there?
That you care?
Or are there

too many distractions
to capture
the attention

of your love?



CHORUS 3:

Oh, can you see me shine?

Can a love survive
in the city, in the city?

Oh, can you see me shine?
Is it me you'll find

in the city, in the city?

Oh, can you see me shine?
will you walk on by
in the city, in the city?


Oh, can you see me shine?
Will dreams come to life
in the city, in the city?


Oh, can you see me shine?
Oh, can you see me shine?
(It's a dream)
Oh, can you see me shine?
(maybe i'll just believe)

that you can see me shine.
