Turn the volume up to drown this awkward silence   While you're off day dreaming in your own land   Words without a choice   Have put me in this position, this position   Of this loss of sleep      It's ok to move on if you want to   I can't hold it against you   I will be the same      I won't be the one to let you down.      With these philly lights on fire   My eyes can barely see the prize   As this city hides desire, it can also hide these cries   As I'm screaming from these windows   The skyline soars above my head   If I can't leave this city   I'll surely wind up dead to the world      I am so sick of being here   In the spot I've been for all these years, here I am   On these trips to mountain tops, I'll relax when vacation drops   When vacation drops      It's ok to move on if you want to   I can't hold it against you   I will be the same      I won't be the one to let you down.      With these philly lights on fire   My eyes can barely see the prize   As this city hides desire, it can also hide these cries   As I'm screaming from these windows   The skyline soars above my head   If I can't leave this city   I'll surely wind up dead to the world      So give me an answer as you blame yourself   You make things harder but I'll do them myself   Never let this go   No more crying cuz it's all dried up   The tears inside are just out of luck   Never let this go      Never let this go.      So you think you're better off on the west coast, well, I've got a story for you now: imaging if you never met me before in your life.
