In an interview, Rhys Lewis said that “Living in the City” is about being in a big city, in his case London.
You can get fed up with it, it’s quite a relentless, exhausting place to be. But at the same time, there is something quite addictive about being [there]. And it’s kinda the only place you c...
[Intro]
I've been living in the city too long
I've been given everything that I've got
Been a sinner and a saint
Crazy, and sane
I've been living in the city too long
[Verse 1]
I've been working my fingers to the bone
But as quick as money comes, it all gone
And like London in the rain
The pleasures got pain
I've been living in the city too long
Too long
[Chorus]
And I'm just trying to find me
Some kind of life I've dreamed about
And we're all tired and lonely
Hoping to figure this all out
There's a part of my soul
That wants to let go
Wants to just run away
But the rest of my soul says I should stay
I should stay
[Verse 2]
I've been living in the city too long
There's things that I've gained and I've lost
But I can still count on one hand
The friends that I have
I've been living in the city too long
Never used to get the feeling missing out
But there's so much going on it gets me down
Because whichever way I turn
It could be better or worse
I've been living in the city too long
Too long
[Chorus]
I'm just trying to find me
Some kind of life I've dreamed about
And we're all tired and lonely
Hoping to figure this all out
There's a part of my soul that wants to let go
Wants to just run away
But the rest of my soul says I should stay
I should stay
[Bridge]
I've been living in the city too long
I've been living in the city too long
I've been living in the city too long
I've been living in the city too long
I've been living in the city too long
[Chorus]
I'm just trying to find me
Some kind of life I've dreamed about
We're all tired and lonely
Hoping to figure this all out
There's a part of my soul that wants to let go
Wants to just run away
But the rest of my soul, says I should stay
