Molly Smitten-Downes - Beneath the lights

When I first came here
I fell in love straight away
With all of it
The people
The traffic
The lights
I think it's the irony
Something poetic about it
You know
There's over 8 million people living in this city
but for some it's still the loneliest place in the world

Here beneath the city lights
A thousand dreams will come to life
As in the shadows another dies
Here beneath the lights

Swallowing down
Far underground
Lost on direction
Here in the light
Stars in my eyes
So much affection
This is real
Here and now
So much to figure out
As the darkness speaks to me

Here beneath the city lights
A thousand dreams will come to life
As in the shadows another dies
Here beneath the lights

Beneath
Beneath
Beneath

Beneath
Beneath
Beneath

So now that you're here
Future is clear
As long as you're hungry
More than you have
The good and the bad
The truth can get ugly
So don't you worry
You'll be fine
Be prepared to lose your mind
When the darkness
Comes for you

Here beneath the city lights
A thousand dreams will come to life
As in the shadows another dies
Here beneath the lights

The lights
The lights

Here beneath the lights

Here beneath the city lights
A thousand dreams will come to life
As in the shadows another dies
Here beneath the lights
