Lyrics: Thao Nguyen. City Sky.

city sky lyrics

He shone a light and called it a star
named it after me
well I didn't stare too hard
just wanted to see
your words so sweet
they parch my throat
but seaworthy (??)
because you told me so

scattered across airports
leaving thoughts of you
planting mountains in my wake
and still you cut right through

and you fall upon me
just like a city sky
all hot on my neck
easy on my eyes

he shone a light and called it a star
named it after me
well I didn't stare too hard
just wanted to see

do I crowd the pavement around your place
what about now
as I back pedal away?
do I crowd the pavement around your place
what about now?
as I back pedal away, away, away away away

I fan your cigarette smoke
I'll wipe your mirrors clean
I am the asshole who falls for your routine

I fan your cigarette smoke
I'll wipe your mirrors clean
I am the asshole who falls for your routine

you don't love me as hard as you could
well not so bad baby
don't make it good

he shone a light and called it a star
named it after me
well I didn't stare too hard
just wanted to see

he shone a light and called it a star
named it after me
well I didn't stare too hard
just wanted to see
just wanted to see
oh oh I just wanted to see
