Somewhere the City Lights Leave Us Blind Lyrics

I lost count when I went
When I packed my things and got dressed
(That hurts)

Parallel to the ground
You're the only anchor I found

These rumours are leaving
And causing the airplanes to some
Somewhere the city lights leave us blind

Tomorrow you're leaving
Your boarding an airplane to some
Somewhere the city lights leave us blind

And the streetlights serve as my moon
As their light cascades over you
And I know you probably feel trapped
Like some dead weight's holding you back

Tomorrow I'm leaving
I'm boarding an airplane to some
Somewhere the things I love stay the same

The sidewalks are magnets
The lights and the traffic gleam
Somewhere the city lights make us real

Oooooh

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i think he says "i lost kim, when i went" he did write a song called kim so its possible and makes more since.

the first line of the chorus These rumours are leaving its "These rumors of leaving"

and the (?) is holding. "Like some dead weights holding you back"

thanks for putting these up love.
