Cold lasts for too long
The shade sleeps in my bed
Alone with my own thoughts
I battle against my head

I can't see the sun
It's a crooked perspective
My notion of daylight
Is slightly deceptive

You try to sleep, but the night's too loud
You feel alone inside every crowd
You try to run, you must get away
You check the time but it's still today

You gotta run in the city
You gotta run from city

Running against the stream
Like a tired fish
Someone by your side
Is your only wish

Monday's burning bad
Tuesday was a sting
Wednesday cuts you like a knife
What will Thursday bring

You try to sleep, but the night's too loud
You feel alone inside every crowd
You try to run, you must get away
You check the time but it's still today

You gotta run in the city
You gotta run from city
Uuuuuh, You gotta run in the city, run in the city
Yeaaaah, You gotta run from city, run from the city

When you don't say what you really wanna say
You become a dead soul, faking smiles everyday
And the truth is you need something different for a change
Cause the straight line is keeping your real self away
