lyrics

I love you when the rain falls sideways
I love you when you get in my way
I love you when the traffic lights
all run at the wrong time, at the wrong time
I love you when Aurora sunsets
beckon me over suicide fences
Your reflection in the water shows me
everything I need to know

Ooh, the city my city the city my city the city
Ooh, the city my city the city my city the city

I love you when we sleep through morning
then wake into a place beyond dreaming
I love you when you lie so sweetly
I’d rather be here than true
I love you even while you strip me
of every bit of self-preservation
I’ll give it in a heartbeat and I’ll
never take it back from you

Ooh you never change, you never know what you want to say
Ooh you never know, you never change what you want to say
at the time, the time

I love you when the rain falls sideways
I love you when you get in my way
I love you when your traffic lights
break into stars, red green yellow stars
I love you when Aurora sunsets
beckon me over suicide fences
Your reflection in the water shows me
more and more
and more and more
