Does anyone have the time to bring me down?

And can I sleep

All night long

To the drums of the city rain?

Just make it up

'Cause I'm awake

All night long

To the drums of the city rain

And brother if you have the chance to pick me up?

And can I sleep

On your couch

To the pound of the ache and pain?

Oh, in my head

'Cause I'm awake

All night long

To the drums of the city rain

The lights we chase

The nights we steal

The things that we take

To make us feel this

I can't go back

Don't think I will

I won't sleep tonight as long as I still

Hear the drums of the city rain

Does anyone have the guts to shut me up?

'Cause I believe

That every night

There's a chance we can walk away

So hold on tight

Because I won't

Wait too long

In the drums of the beating rain

'Cause the nights don't last

And we leave alone

Will you drive me back?

Can you take me home?

The lights we chase

The nights we steal

The things that we take

To make us feel this

I can't go back

Don't think I will

I won't sleep tonight as long as I still

Hear the drums of the city rain

Faces I don't know

I am tired in the glow

Of the freezing club

Keep me breathing don't

Make the lights come back

Can you take me home?

We all need this when

We leave alone

Remember when you and I would make things up?

So many nights

Just take me down

To the place we would hear them play

I miss that sound

'Cause now we don't

Sing so loud

To the drums of the city rain

The lights we chase

The nights we steal

The things that we take

To make us feel this

I can't go back

I don't think I will

I won't sleep tonight as long as I still

Hear the drums of the city rain

Like strangers laugh and like subways feel

Things I'm trying to break

Oh, just wait until this is all we have to keep us ill

I won't breathe tonight as long as I still

Hear the drums of the city rain
