The stars will cry the blackest tears tonight

And this is the moment that I live for

I can smell the ocean air

Here I am, pouring my heart onto these rooftops

Just a ghost to the world

That's exactly, exactly what I need

From up here, the city lights burn

Like a thousand miles of fire

And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

For a second, I wish the tide

Will swallow every inch of the city

As you gasp for air tonight

I'd scream this song right in your face, if you were here

Swear I won't miss a beat

Cause I never, never have before

From up here, the city lights burn

Like a thousand miles of fire

And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

Of our dying day

Of our dying day

Of our dying day

For a second, I wish the tide

Would swallow every inch of this city

As you gasped for air tonight

From up here, the city lights burn

Like a thousand miles of fire

And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

From up here, the city lights burn

Like a thousand miles of fire

And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

From up here, the city lights burn

Like a thousand miles of fire

And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

Our dying day

Of our dying day
