Verse 1

I met you on a stormy weekend

You never meant to draw the line

I saw you once you didn't smile

 Thought you needed my advice

 But didn't know it at the time

Verse 2

I called you in the dead of winter

You didn't even hold the line

I've seen it all the great decline

 One more troubled state of mine

 What's so wrong? Why can't you even try?

Chorus 1

Hear me out now

a thousand miles around

That the sound of strangers

 breaking new ground

It's the breakdown

of a lifetime

Here we go now falling

of the straight line

Lost in city lights

Lost in city lights

Verse 3

I know all about

 your little secrets

I've felt the chills

 and your regrets

I heard them all

 yeah through the wall

 While you never had a clue

 And if you knew what would you do?

Chorus 2

Hear me out now

a thousand miles around

That the sound of strangers

 breaking new ground

It's the breakdown

of a lifetime

Here we go now falling

of the straight line

Breakdown

I'm dreaming

I'm dreaming

I'm dreaming

Bridge

With synth piano solo

Falling back in the days

 you were doing all right

 If you're set in your ways

 then you fade out of sight

 When at first it felt wrong

 it soon became right

 Now the cracks on the wall

 were a map of your life

 The addiction is back and

 it's heavy this time

Now you're talking to the

voices through the wall

 Will you make it this time?

Chorus 3

Hear me out now

a thousand miles around

That the sound of strangers

 breaking new ground

It's the breakdown

of a lifetime

Here we go now falling

of the straight line

The addiction is back and

 it's heavy this time

Now you're talking to the

voices through the wall

 Will you make it this time?

Outro

I don't wanna know

That the sound of strangers

 breaking new ground

Lost in city lights

Here we go now falling

 of the straight line
