Big City Backdrop

It’s a big city backdrop and I’m Buzzing like a burnt out light Hidden away in this studio again Fall asleep waiting up for you But the doorknob sits unturned And like a match I’m beginning to feel burned. Color me the Color of your heart And I’ll fade into the shadows of the ruined streets below So tell me Sweetheart When was it that this peaceful dream Turned into a nightmare Sirens and gunshots still wake me up as Frequent as your memories They cut through my dreams Color me the Color of your heart And I’ll fade into the shadows of the ruined streets below Color me the Color of your heart And I’ll fade into the shadows of the ruined streets below Will I find you in the ruined streets below?
