Lyrics Big City Lullaby - Essence of Mind Mix - Ayria

Memorizing city lights of all the places I have been
Nothing like adrenaline eyes, but coming down almost kills me
Love the places, know the faces, but the names are all a blur
It's hard to hold on when you forget where you are and where you were

Everybody wants to live their life in the spotlight
One day at a time, I just want to live for tonight
Standing here with you, I don't want you to see that I'm terrified
Is this what you expected? Can't you see it's all smoke and lights?

I know it's getting late but please don't go
There is still so much more of the show
I know there'll be a thousand more goodbyes
Before they dim the lights

I've realized that all I've wanted is right here in front of me
I said that to you; you laughed, but it was something that I do believe in
It's nice to meet you, share this moment; please don't stand so close to me
Keep your distance when it's over, I'm afraid you've stolen part of me

Everybody wants to live their life in the spotlight
One day at a time, I just want to live for tonight
Standing here with you, I don't want you to see that I'm terrified
Is this what you expected? Can't you see it's all smoke and lights?

I know it's getting late but please don't go
There is still so much more of the show
I hope there'll be a thousand more goodbyes
Before they dim the lights

This path will soon be ending
And will you stay with me?
It's only us left standing; will I find it hard to breathe?
And it has not been easy when I'm lost and in my mind
Separate worlds divided; my mind's been there all the time
City lights flash by me
And I don't know where I am
Before tonight they'll love me
But when I'm gone they'll just forget
You know me better than all this
You've seen me on the edge of a world that tried to leave me with an open wound again
My heart; you'll want to stay forever
All this just so I can live forever
Immortalized; forever here
In time, you'll understand
