This city is shivering.
She exhales and her breath lingers.
May is close but winter is still here.
The April rains beat down on her.

She lifts her face into the light.
She breaks her silence and cries.
I'm breathing in and breathing out.
Invisible but I'm still alive.
The clouds are like a blanket
In the sky stretching tight above her.
She is cold but hanging in there.
She's got herself whatever self she may be.

She lifts her face into the light.
She breaks her silence and cries.
I'm breathing in and breathing out.
Invisible but I'm still alive

Have you ever thought about how nothing lives without the light
But you can go blind staring at the sun.
Sometimes when I look at you I have to turn away
But I can't bare the darkness when you're gone
And I reach out for you.

Don't know where to begin,
Always outside looking in.
Don't know how to begin,
Always outside looking in.

Now I only think about how I can't live without the light,
I take my chances staring at the sun.
If I could only look at you I would never turn away
because I can't bare the darkness when you're gone
And I'd reach out for you.

Don't know where to begin,
Always outside looking in.
Don't know how to begin,
Always outside looking in.
