City By The Sea Lyrics

My life and your life, we're just like
Two ghost ships in the night
Just like two ghost ships
Floating worlds apart
These strange lights
They drown the dark, they make me numb
Tell me, am I the only one?
Tell me, am I the only one to drift apart?

In the city by the sea
In a forest of electric trees we hide

Wade out into the night
Play the distance game till your out of sight
And you're staring down
All the high-rise windows in the dark
And you know me...y foot in the door
You know I will always be
The one that you knew before
The one who holds all your secrets dear

So remain a part of me
Or remain apart from me and disappear

Ain't it funny how we fade?
Echoes in the Milky Way
Ripples of youth
Like ships in the harbor
They go floating through
They go through you and me
City by the sea

We space out
Staring out at sea
All the darkness
Staring back at you and me
The deepest fears will always come to feed
And watch us drown
And hearts of gold
Can still sink just like a stone
In all their brilliant ways on their way down

Like a glowing piece of coal
As the furnace of the soul flickers to life

Ain't it funny how we fade?
Echoes in the Milky Way
Ripples of youth
Like ships in the harbor
They go floating through
They go through you and me
City by the sea

Ain't it funny how we fade?
Echoes in the Milky Way
Ripples of youth
Like ships in the harbor

Ain't it funny how we fade?
Echoes in the Milky Way
Ripples of youth
Like ships in the harbor
They go floating through
They go through you and me
City by the sea
