lyrics

The lights are on and its Christmas eve
I walk outside with a shorter sleeve
The air is warm as I wind and weave
Down city streets that I won't leave

The snow won't fall and the streets are clear
If dogs are barking I can't hear
Everyone I know is nowhere near
Off with people they see once a year

I never thought I'd see the city sleep
I've never heard that ringing
It made a promise it could never keep
I don't know why, but
I never thought I'd see the city sleep.

You said goodbye and I didn't fight
I told a lie and I said you're right
I block your phone calls out of spite
But I'd pick up if you called tonight

I never thought I'd see the city sleep
I've never heard that ringing
It made a promise it could never keep
I don't know why, but
I never thought I'd see the city sleep.

The presents that I wrapped have got nowhere to go
Nothing sounded better than just laying low
'Cause everyone at home would say I told you so
But everything that's here is moving much too slow

I never thought I'd see the city sleep
I've never heard that ringing
It made a promise it could never keep
I don't know why, but
I never thought I'd see the city sleep.
