Album: Little Voice (2007)

  • There's a harvest each Saturday night
    At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
    A place you can stand for one night and get gone

    It's clear this conversation ain't doing a thing
    'Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing
    And I don't feel like singing tonight
    All the same songs

    [Chorus]
    In these deep city lights
    Girl could get lost tonight
    I'm finding every reason to be gone
    Nothing here to hold on to
    Could I hold you?

    The situation's always the same
    You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood's name
    Stealing gold from the silver they see
    But it's not me

    [Chorus]

    Calling out somebody save me I feel like I?m fading away
    Calling out somebody save me I feel like I?m fading?
    I'm fading

    [Chorus]

    In these deep city lights
    Girl could get lost tonight
    I'm finding every reason to be gone
    Nothing here to hold on to
    Could I hold you? Writer/s: SARA BAREILLES
