Never meant that much to you
For all the secrets we knew
Times of trouble and times of pain
Now only memories remain
The years have slipped away
Different places and paths I chose
Always come back the same
To those city nights we rode in vain
Chorus
The nights in the alleys
Driven by our friends
We were part-time lovers
On the city nights
We rode in vain
To ease the madness of
The city nights
I drove by our old place again
And something about it has changed since then
It's the same old places
And the same old things
And the same old memories that they bring
But now they're surrounded by a different light
And I can't help but remember
All those city nights
Chorus
Silence, with everything so loud
A world in which I live is full of doubt
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to go
And looking back now I see
All the deluded memories
That you gave to me
Of the perfect life
Out on the city nights
Chorus
