The stars will cry The blackest tears tonight And this is the moment that I live for I can smell the ocean air And here I am Pouring my heart onto these rooftops Just a ghost to the world That's exactly Exactly what I need From up here, the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day For a second I wish the tide Would swallow every inch of this city As you gasp for air tonight I'd scream this song right in your face If you were here I swear I won't miss a beat 'Cause I never Never have before From up here, the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day Of our dying day Of our dying day Of our dying! For a second, I wish the tide Would swallow every inch of this city And you gasp for air tonight From up here, the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day From up here, the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day From up here, the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day Our dying day Of our dying!
