[Verse 1]
This city's killing me
I miss the rivers and the cherry trees
I miss the magic and the mystery
Of what it'd be like to be free

[Verse 2]
I'm sick of driving on these empty streets
Of feeling phantoms, baby, I can't see
Of taking shelter in these memories
Of what it was like to be free

[Chorus]
So, baby, hold me close, I can't take it now
All these holy ghosts, trying to chase me down
Baby, hold me close
Baby, hold me close

[Post-Chorus]
Just one touch and we'll never be the same
No, we'll never be the same

[Verse 3]
I miss the golden hour
Surrounded in the thunder of a crowd
A thousand voices singing to the sound
Of what it was like to be free
[Chorus]
So, baby, hold me close, I can't take it now
All these holy ghosts, trying to chase me down
Baby, hold me close
Baby, hold me close

[Post-Chorus]
Just one touch and we'll never be the same
No, we'll never be the same
Just one touch and we'll never be the same
No, we'll never be the same
No, we'll never be the same, oh-oh-oh
We'll never be the same
No, we'll never be the same

[Chorus]
So, baby, hold me close, I can't take it now
All these holy ghosts, trying to chase me down
Baby, hold me close
Baby, hold me close

[Outro]
Just one touch and we'll never be the same
