It’s a smoke and mirrors kind of game

Always
Running out of roles to play
As the spotlight fades
So back to love
Back to the way it was
Back to the city
Where I didn’t know your name
This unfolding scene
With your back to me
These streets
Make it easy
To need you so bad
Once you’re leaving
When I ask you if you noticed
Your silence is the sound
Blurry street lights focus
Always seems to bring me back around
Cause it’s always been you
It’s a one-way street kind of fling

For nothing
Running out of things to say
And for what, babe
So back to us
With the me I was
Back to the city
Where I didn’t know your name
This unfolding scene
With your back to me
These streets
Make it easy
To need you so bad
Once you’re leaving
When I ask you if you noticed
Your silence is the sound

Blurry street lights focus
Always seems to bring me back around
Cause it’s always been you
Back to us
With the me I was
And for what
I thought you wanted love
These streets
Make it easy
To need you so bad
Once you’re leaving
Cause it’s always been you
This unfolding scene
With your back to me
They lead back to me
