Just like the pretty girl that doesn't know she's pretty
I think it's time for her to move up to the city

Up to the city
♪
It's where the lights are bright and everybody knows
But something's wrong tonight 'cause that's the way it goes
Up in the city
Up in the city
I just heard it yesterday, she's left the town and gone away
Guess it's always somethin' that we knew
Was there always something wrong?
She's packed her bags and movin' on
Love will find a way to follow through
♪
And now she's sinking down, but doesn't know she's sinkin'
Maybe the time is right to stop these lights from blinkin'

Up in the city
♪
And as the sun goes down, the city comes alive
Sometimes the wrong feels right, but somethin' won't survive
Up in the city
Up in the city
I just heard it yesterday, she's left the town and gone away
Guess it's always somethin' that we knew
Was there always something wrong?
She's packed her bags and movin' on
Love will find a way to follow through
She didn't even know
Her story untold, she was already there
She had a look in her eyes like something had died
She was always there, yeah
