Ellie Goulding Lyrics

In My City

If I ever had a wish in the whole world,

I would have listened to my brother, when he spoke to me,

And I never would have played with my conscience,

In the fields, where I was in the company,

But you gave me wings, and I used them, I used them,

I used them on my youth,

And you gave me wings, and I used them, I used them,

And I won't lose them.

Now I've found my feet, count to one, two, three,

And I'm taking off tonight, now I'm free,

As I walk my feet on the cold concrete, and I, and I, and I,

I can feel my dreams, when I'm in my city,

I fall on my knees for my, for my city,

We're going off the dream in my, in my city,

And that's where I'll stay, and that's where I'll stay, in my city.

Rolling down the streets of my new town,

With the lights blinding, and my heart rate down,

I think I'll get a job with stealing people's thunder,

And the folks back home, I'll make them vouch,

But you gave me wings, and I used them, I used them,

I used them on my youth,

And you gave me wings, and I used them, and I used,

And I won't lose them, I don't wanna lose them.

I can feel my dreams, when I'm in my city,

I fall on my knees for my, for my city,

We're going off the dream in my, in my city,

And that's where I'll stay, that's where I'll stay, in my city.

Shoulders ache for want of wings,

My city shakes, the fear in me....

I can feel my dreams, when I'm in my city,

I fall on my knees for my, for my city,

We're going off the dream in my city, in my city,

And that's where I'll stay, that's where I'll stay, in my city.
