They built this city outside the walls
You and I, we stood and watched it grow
They left like kings, pawned it all
So why don't we just clean it all and go
And you can lay these bricks on tower tall
No one will think you can turn it into gold
So till the ceilings on the floor
We don't build the holding just to watch you fall
It happens, a feeling, come on like a crescendo
The moment, withstand it, bleeding against my window
Yeah, it's all mine
So baby, the street sounds, that's when I feel the wind blow
Let's take these tickets and pay the toll
We don't really need a car to tow home
We might not know which way to walk
But to stay here for an eternity, then no
When you're filling up the tank, let it overflow
And listen to the static on the telephone
There's no need to understand
Just get your things, and step outside the door
It happens, a feeling, come on like a crescendo
The moment, withstand it, bleeding against my window
Yeah, it's all mine
So baby, the street sounds, that's when I feel the wind blow
I hear it grow, a crescendo
I hear it grow, a crescendo
I hear it grow, a crescendo
I hear it grow, a crescendo
It happens, a feeling, come on like a crescendo
The moment, withstand it, bleeding against my window
Yeah, it's all mine
So baby, the street sounds, that's when I feel the wind blow
