[Intro]
(Ooh-ah-ah)
(Ooh-ah-ah-ahah)
(Ooh-ah-ah)
(Ooh-ah-ah-ahah)
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like giving up, like the whole world's against me
Carpe diem
You may not see another sunset, too busy try'na make your name
This ain't the end
[Pre-Chorus]
Living in a heart of stone (woah!)
Reaching for the stars with your hands tied
You work your fingers to the bone (woah!)
You better make your move while there's still time
[Chorus]
Bright lights, big city
I don't wanna be alone
Bright lights, big city
I can't make it on my own
[Verse 2]
Somebody's always pushing past to get ahead in the rat race
Straight to the top
It's hard to see a happy ending when I swim against the tide
But this is my shot
[Chorus]
Bright lights, big city
I don't wanna be alone
Bright lights, big city
I can't make it on my own
[Bridge]
What am I doing, don't know what to say
Running in circles, I'm a mess everyday
Cycles repeating (woah!), can't find my stop
Endless and pointless, will I make it or not?
[Chorus]
Bright lights, big city
I don't wanna be alone
Bright lights, big city
I can't make it on my own
