Butterfly on the wall
slow pace in the hall
cobblestone beneath my feet
walking down a one way street
bell ringing on the square
moon shining in my hair
traintracks and fireflies
silent smelling in the air
it's the city of me
yeah, oooh

first kiss come and gone
girl is full and grown
sweetness blooming into love
first love is come and gone
it's the city of me

the subtle strength that's inside
is the fortress of my pride
and even though i try to hide
in the city i reside
the subtle strength that's inside
is the fortress of my pride
and even though i tried to hide
in the city i reside

it's the city of me
ooh

grown and gone away
new faces everyday
but i won't betray it, no
my heart will always stay
in the city of me
ooh
