[Verse 1] I got off at the wrong side With your name in my coat Taxis washed in gray rain And a crumpled receipt for hope I walked past a noodle shop Past a locked-up laundromat My phone died in my hand And I let it stay like that [Pre-Chorus] Every corner said "turn back" Every window said "stay" But I kept on moving Till the fear fell away [Chorus] I was lost in the city (Lost in the city) Now I know my feet I was lost in the city (Lost in the city) But the road came back to me [Verse 2] A kid sold me two oranges From a cart with a bent wheel He said, "Keep the brighter one" Like he knew the way I feel I traced the bridge in shadow Found my breath in the crowd The towers looked less lonely When I sang a little loud [Pre-Chorus] Every corner said "turn back" Every window said "stay" But I kept on moving Till the fear fell away [Chorus] I was lost in the city (Lost in the city) Now I know my feet I was lost in the city (Lost in the city) But the road came back to me [Bridge] If I disappear tonight Write my outline in chalk Then let the rain come clean it I can still find the block [Final Chorus] I was lost in the city (Lost in the city) Now I know my feet I was lost in the city (Lost in the city) And the road came back to me I was lost in the city (Lost in the city) But I found my way home
