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
