I put my make up on and 
Head for the other side of town 
With my dress from the night before 
Fading the countdown 
Outside a sea of people forming 
Walking after work this morning 
They look right through me as I’m passing by 
Not even so much as an evil eye 

The city speaks to you 
So much to live for, so much to lose 
The end [bad word]  beginning is here 
Anything you look for, you’ll find it here 
I found love in a foreign place 
I could stay forever 
It’s my time, it’s now or never 

I’ve been so many places 
Nowhere could ever turn me down 
All I ever wanted was so much more 
Than life in a small town 
I find it hard to hide my feelings 
Looking down to ancient buildings 
Looking down on me, towering above 
Time was standing still as we fell in love 

The city speaks to you 
So much to live for, so much to lose 
The end [bad word]  beginning is here 
Anything you look for, you’ll find it here 
I found love in a foreign place 
I could stay forever 
It’s my time, it’s now or never 
I’ve had love as the world was ending 
Not getting any younger 
I feel life taking over 

So much to live for, so much to lose 
So much to live for, so much to lose 

I’ve been so many places 
Nowhere could ever turn me down 
All I ever wanted was so much more 
Than life in a small town 

I found love in a foreign place 
I could stay forever 
It’s my time, it’s now or never 
I’ve had love as the world was ending 
Not getting any younger 
I feel life taking over
