[Intro: All]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1: Michael]
Most of my life
I sat on my hands, I don't make a sound
Getting it right
I made all my plans, lost, never found
[Pre-Chorus: Michael]
Your eyes, your smile can light up the night, night
Embers and neon signs paint up our sky, sky
[Chorus: All]
Airplanes cut through the clouds
Like angels can fly, we'll never die
Sirens cut through the night
Like screams set on fire, rising up higher
I've got something to prove, nothing to lose
In this city, in this city, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Post-Chorus: All]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2: Luke]
All of this time
I questioned myself, I never could wait
Looking for signs
Not asking for help, I know it's too late
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Michael]
A love lost and buried here, it comes to life, life
Make-believe worlds make us all feel alive, 'live
[Chorus: All]
Airplanes cut through the clouds
Like angels can fly, we'll never die
Sirens cut through the night
Like screams set on fire, rising up higher
I've got something to prove, nothing to lose
In this city, in this city, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge: Michael, Michael & Luke]
I don't ever wanna wait for this
I know that I was made for this
I won't fade into dark
I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry
Gonna see the end of this story
I won't fade into darkness
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: All, Michael]
Airplanes cut through the clouds
Like angels can fly (We'll never die)
Sirens cut through the night
Like screams set on fire, rising up higher
I've got something to prove, nothing to lose
In this city, in this city, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Post-Chorus: All]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

In a 2015 interview with Fuse producer John Feldmann said:
I love Glen Hansard, and that movie Once is one of my favorite movies ever. We hadn’t written a song in 6/8… I remember one time an A&R guy came to my house and I played him a song in 6/8 and he said, “What, do you want to waltz?” I rea...
