The days and nights are stale
Su-summer's on repeat
We're all messed up from it
Bruised and broken dreams
We know the aftertaste
The pretense of the night
We make it look glamorous
But only we know what it's really like
Cause some nights I wanna leave this place
And move out of this pretend city
But it tastes like candy, bittersweet
So I take what I want and leave what I need
We know this city too well but we get lost in it
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
We hate it now but we will never call it quits
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
We know this city too well but we get lost in it
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
We hate it now but we will never call it quits
We act to feel like we're older
What's the fun in being young?
And all the kids nowadays
Are sipping courage from a straw
Ooh, sometimes it feels like I'm in my glory days
Fuel the fire of my faulty flame
Darling light up my world, light it just for the day
Cause some nights I wanna leave this place
And move out of this pretend city
But it tastes like candy, bittersweet
So I take what I want and leave what I need
We know this city too well but we get lost in it
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
We hate it now but we will never call it quits
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
We know this city too well but we get lost in it
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
We hate it now but we will never call it quits
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Some nights I wanna leave this place together
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
What a shame these years don't last forever
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
I knew this city so well but I got lost in it
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
I'm moving on but I would do it all again
