Looking out all across the sea
Feels like there's something out there waiting for me but
I looked around just to find a place
That gives me more than just the same old pace
But I was content to run away
Cos I keep on making the same mistake
I've been away to a far out place
Where you can drive and get some snow in your face but
I looked around and I could not see
There's no one out there smiling back at me
Then I was ashamed to run away
Cos I should have stayed at home here anyway
Hip city, I just wanna love you
Hip city, I just wanna need you
This city, I don't wanna let you down
This city, your lights are blazing
Every night you're so amazing
Hold me back before I cause a scene
Cos this is my hip city and that's where I wanna be
♪
All around I see the pretty smiles
They've been around me for a long long while and
I met a girl and she made me weak
In my heart and my hands and my feet
And we would be running through the busy streets
Cos we will be running through the busy streets
Hip city, I just wanna love you
This city, I just wanna need you
This city, I don't wanna let you down
This city, your lights are blazing
Every night you're so amazing
Hold me back before I cause a scene
Cos this is my hip city and that's where I wanna be
♪
And now I know they could never be
Some pretty girl that could make me feel
The way I do when I'm with you
When I'm with you
♪
This city, your lights are blazing
Every night you're so amazing
Hold me back before I cause a scene
Cos we're living in
Hip city, I just wanna love you down
Where the kids and the gardens grow
There's nowhere else I'd rather get down
This city, your lights are blazing
Every night you're so amazing
Hold me back before I cause a scene
A scene
Cos this is my hip city and that's where I wanna be
