Like a thousand miles of fire
Would swallow every inch of this city
From up here the city lights burn
I can smell the ocean air
From up here the city lights burn
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
For a second I wish the tide
Like a thousand miles of fire
'Cause I never, never have before
Of our dying day
Of our dying day, of our dying
Here to sing this anthem
Like a thousand miles of fire
Of our dying day
And I'm here to sing
And I'm here to sing this anthem
As you gasp for air tonight
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight
Just a ghost to the world
Of our dying day of our dying day
If you were here I swear I won't miss a beat
For a second I wish the tide
And I'm here to sing this anthem
I'd scream this song right in your face
Here I am pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Like a thousand miles of fire
From up here the city lights burn
Of our dying day, of our dying day
That's exactly what I need
From up here the city lights burn
