City Of Lakes (Live) Lyrics by Matt Mays

From Burnside With Love (Live)

2021

This pavement feels cold on my face
And my bones have seen better days
Be a friend, pick me up off the ground
Nice and easy, oooh
I got a scar, you can see it from afar
Like cigarette burns on the top of my guitar
If you wish me luck, don't tell me to break a leg
I coulda been walking on a peg
And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes
Where real people roam close to where all the real waves break
I got a girl, she got lots of stylе
You can see every tooth in her mouth whеn she smiles
She's prettier than you, and you, and you
She's prettier than you
I got a dream, I hope that it comes true
And if it don't, don't know what I'm gonna do
I got a dream, I got a dream
And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes
Where real people roam close to where all the real waves break
I lost a friend in this past year
I miss his guitar playing in my ear
Be a friend, take away all my fears
Nice and easy
Nice and easy
And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes
Where real people roam close to where all the real waves they break
And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes
Where real people roam close to where all the real waves they break, they break, they break
And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes
