Andra Day - City Burns lyrics

The scent of momentum fills the city air
Hear the heart beat
It's alive and draws you in
Things will never be the same
Thought I'd been here, but never here
Times before
Then the roller coaster dipped and
Sped along no more
But, I'm not in the same space
Cause, I'm hardly the woman that I once was

Now I search for the
Ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh as the city burns
As the city burns as the city burns
Burns away burns away

Now it's fancy ladies, pricey wiles
And argyle
From homemade beats, selling tee's
And running wild
Just hope I don't lose my head
And now I'm thinking on a
Dream that my sister had
Back then I was too young
To see it wasn't bad
So thanks chick, by the way
Cause, I'm hardly the woman that I once was

Now I search for the
Ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh as the city burns
As the city burns as the city burns
Burns away burns away

We're at a run right now
Before we were at a steady jog
And I'm trying to hang on
To whatever I can find
Because what do you do when
It's spinning so fast
How do you stand with the world on your back
I'm hardly the woman I once was

Search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh as the city burns
As the city burns ooh
Burns away burns away
