Cigarettes & Citylights

Gisbert zu Knyphausen

[Verse 1]
Pictures of a travel through your heart and soul
'Til it's stuck in your mind like a love song
You're singing it while walking through this town alone
Feeling good, feeling lost, feeling lonesome

[Refrain]
You're trying, I know you are, you're trying hard
You're trying, you do your best just to not fall apart

[Verse 2]
But the sadness creeps up slowly, while you're reading the news
And then sticks to your face like a post-it
This life seems so absurd and all that clinging onto
A little mom trusts that saying: make the most of you

[Refrain]
You're trying, I know you are, you're trying hard
You're trying, you do your best just to not fall apart

[Chorus]
And the cigarettes, they taste so that you're smoking like you never stop
Oh, you've had your share of everything but just can't seem to get enough
And it's so easy to keep moving on
Searching for a place you can call your home

[Verse 3]
You've been practicing all day to put a smile on your face
So you won't look so tired and wasted
You're saying "Hi" to everyone you meet, you're shaking their hands
Yeah it's easy, you just have to fake it

[Refrain]
You're trying, I know you are, you're trying hard
You're trying, you do your best just to not fall apart

[Chorus]
And the citylights keep singing songs that you're trying to forget
Oh, you wanted to unriddle them but can't get them out of your head
And you're so eager to keep moving on
You're digging a new hole you can crawl in and then call it your home
Your home
