‘City’ is about Sara’s experiences when she first moved to Los Angeles, and her feelings of discouragement and being overwhelmed with what she saw
[Verse 1]
There's a harvest each Saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
It's clear this conversation ain't doing a thing
Because these boys only listen to me when I sing
And I don't feel like singing tonight
All the same songs
[Chorus]
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
[Verse 2]
The situation's always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood's name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it's not me
[Chorus]
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
[Bridge]
Calling out, somebody save me, I feel like I'm fading away
Am I gone?
Calling out, somebody save me, I feel like I'm fading
[Chorus]
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
