We used to steal cans to color this grey city.
Put some beauty into our black and white teenage lives.
We used to run to all different directions,
Just to get away, to leave it all behind.
So we painted
All of our dreams
On the floors and on the walls
Of this city that we hated,
But we tried to make it ours.
We tried to make it ours.
I haven’t seen you in years.
And when I left I swore to myself.
That I shall never, ever see you again.
And so I moved to promised places.
Of people told me they were shining.
But all I found beneath those bright lights
Is that old familiar darkness.
(chorus)
There is darkness, there is light
In every place that I’ve been to.
But with you right beside me,
This somehow feels like home.
