I've sat and watched this city crumble,
Just as it was being built
The bigger it gets the less it's thought of
But I'm just scared of losing all that we have left
And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here,
In front of our eyes
I hope someday this will all reverse,
And send us back to the times before,
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of,
Clear blue skies and, climbing trees,
Can't you see what our lies have come to be?
Can't you see what our lies have come to be?
We used to just make friends so easily,
Never judging anyone,
Was how it's meant to be
Our parents were always heroes in our eyes
But TV and magazines soon, changed our minds
And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here,
In front of our eyes
I hope someday this will all reverse,
And send us back to the times before,
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of,
Clear blue skies and, climbing trees,
Can't you see what our lies have come to be?
Can't you see what our lies have come to be...?
I watched all the ones I loved turn into rust
Wearing almost nothing they, go out after dusk
As if to be accepted you need to sell yourself
They need to learn there's much more to this world...
And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here,
In front of our eyes
I hope someday this will all reverse,
And send us back to the times before,
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of,
Clear blue skies and, climbing trees,
Can't you see what our lies have come to be?
Can't you see what our lies have come to be?
