Verse 1

I met you on a stormy weekend

You never meant to draw the line

I saw you once you didn't smile

Thought you needed my advice

But didn't know it at the time

Verse 2

I called you in the dead of winter

You didn't even hold the line

I've seen it all the great decline

One more troubled state of mine

What's so wrong? Why can't you even try?

Chorus 1

Hear me out now

a thousand miles around

That the sound of strangers

breaking new ground

It's the breakdown

of a lifetime

Here we go now falling

of the straight line

Lost in city lights

Lost in city lights

Verse 3

I know all about

your little secrets

I've felt the chills

and your regrets

I heard them all

yeah through the wall

While you never had a clue

And if you knew what would you do?

Chorus 2

Hear me out now

a thousand miles around

That the sound of strangers

breaking new ground

It's the breakdown

of a lifetime

Here we go now falling

of the straight line

Breakdown

I'm dreaming

I'm dreaming

I'm dreaming

Bridge

With synth piano solo

Falling back in the days

you were doing all right

If you're set in your ways

then you fade out of sight

When at first it felt wrong

it soon became right

Now the cracks on the wall

were a map of your life

The addiction is back and

it's heavy this time

Now you're talking to the

voices through the wall

Will you make it this time?

Chorus 3

Hear me out now

a thousand miles around

That the sound of strangers

breaking new ground

It's the breakdown

of a lifetime

Here we go now falling

of the straight line

The addiction is back and

it's heavy this time

Now you're talking to the

voices through the wall

Will you make it this time?

Outro

I don't wanna know

That the sound of strangers

breaking new ground

Lost in city lights

Here we go now falling

of the straight line
