Drag a City

New Politicians


Behold the change of tide
The rhyme and reason for breathing
You’ve given me in this life
I find my stage, I write these pages for ages
Meanwhile you look the other way
So I stay, misplaced in a world around me with one thing to live for

Feel the waves, baby around your legs
Climbing the city walls to get to you
The blinding rays from all those sunny days
I’d drag a city down for you

The weight of the world on my shoulders
I’m kneeling, you’re adorned; you’re heaven sent
Love feels the weight of my heart’s desire

Beneath the masks we wear
The basis and motives for hiding
The honesty in our minds
I’ll lay my head; I keep your picture beside me
Meanwhile I try and find a way
So I stay, misplaced in a world around me with one thing to die for

Feel the waves, baby around your legs
Climbing the city walls to get to you
The gloomy haze from all those rainy days
I’d drag a city down for you, oh

The weight of the world on my shoulders
I’m kneeling, you’re adorned; you’re heaven sent
Love feels the weight of my heart’s desire
We fall to pieces in time

Take a leap of faith, under your heavenly gaze
Angel, I rise to you
Maybe you will have me then
