Just like the pretty girl that doesn't know she's pretty
I think it's time for her to move up to the city
Up to the city

It's where the lights are bright and everybody knows
But something's wrong tonight 'cause that's the way it goes
Up in the city
Up in the city

I just heard it yesterday
She's left the town and gone away
Guess it's always something that we knew
Was there always something wrong
She's packed her bags and moving on
Love will find a way to follow through

And now she's sinking down but doеsn't know she's sinking
Maybe the timе is right to stop these lights from blinking
Up in the city

And as the sun goes down the city comes alive
Sometimes the wrong feels right but something won't survive
Up in the city
Up in the city

I just heard it yesterday
She's left the town and gone away
Guess it's always something that we knew
Was there always something wrong
She's packed her bags and moving on
Love will find a way to follow through
She didn't even know
Her story untold
She was already there
She had a look in her eyes
Like something had died
She was already there, yeah

I just heard it yesterday
She's left the town and gone away
Guess it's always something that we knew
Was there always something wrong
She's packed her bags and moving on
Love will find a way to follow through

Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city

Up in the city
Up in the city
