[Verse 1] You met me where the buses sighed By the corner bodega, bag tied to the side I was counting my luck in the fold of a plan You said, “Baby, run fast, but don’t lose your hands” I got rent in my pocket, a fire in my chest You saw gold in my bruise, kept the rest to the test We made vows with our eyes on a cracked apartment floor Now I’m drawing our names on every locked-up door [Pre-Chorus] You pull me close, I forget the crowd Make that hard little world go soft and loud If the sky falls down, let it fall on us I know your touch, and I know your trust [Chorus] City dreams, city dreams You and me, we’re city dreams Hold me tight, don’t let go We can make the whole place glow City dreams, city dreams You and me, we’re city dreams If the world keeps moving fast I’m in your arms at last [Verse 2] I saw my name in a window of smoke In a diner booth where the old men joked You kissed my fear like it owed you time Said the hard roads bend for a stubborn mind I want a roof with a view and a floor that creaks A little place where your laugh finds me when I sleep No crown, no stage, just a life we build Two steady hearts and a hunger still [Pre-Chorus] You pull me close, I forget the crowd Make that hard little world go soft and loud If the sky falls down, let it fall on us I know your touch, and I know your trust [Chorus] City dreams, city dreams You and me, we’re city dreams Hold me tight, don’t let go We can make the whole place glow City dreams, city dreams You and me, we’re city dreams If the world keeps moving fast I’m in your arms at last [Bridge] Let them chase the shine, let them miss the truth We were built from the grit and the nerve of youth I don’t need forever to know what I mean When you say my name, I believe city dreams [Chorus] City dreams, city dreams You and me, we’re city dreams Hold me tight, don’t let go We can make the whole place glow City dreams, city dreams You and me, we’re city dreams If the world keeps moving fast I’m in your arms at last
