Ben Howard - London lyrics

Oh, how I wish I could drag you down here
Pull these feet far from the ground
Because this
This city ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no friend

All I can do
When the tracks stop at the final destination
Is just push on through
The weariness and silences of such
A crowded situation here all I can do
When every brick, every bar
Every elegance I see i see her face
Is just push on, just push on through
These embers are memories that
Float from the fire
From the fire of this place

So don't give up on me now
Oh these legs that'll walk me home
Because it's only concrete and cars oh
It's only sirens and missing stars
It's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when I feel alone

All I can do when these lights
They haunt me like orchids
In a graveyard here
Is just push on, just push on through
These faces of dust and stone
The dirt and bone of loss loss is here
Oh we're lost here

So don't give up on me now
Oh these legs that'll walk me home
Because it's only concrete and cars oh
It's only sirens and missing stars
Oh it's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when I feel alone

And I hope Paris is as
Beautiful as I've been told
And that everything you do
Is galvanised in gold
