City Lights (Previously Unreleased)

City Lights (Previously Unreleased) - The White Stripes (白色條紋)

Written by：Jack White

I want to grab a stranger s hand and

Hold it as tightly as I can and

I will tell by their reaction if

They re like me or if I am crazy

When the lights of the city hit my

Eyes on the plane looking out the window

I am consumed by a comforting notion

That you are there and

I am welcome

If our miles have added up to

A giant pile of distance that we

Cannot reach past climb or conquer

Will you dig a

Tunnel to me

Every move suspends an action

Any attempt to engage will push away

What you want becomes a magnet

Opposing pulls

Never meeting

Can you combine a friend and mother

Can you blend a dad and brother

Must we have to pick one or the other

Will we know this or always wonder

Always wonder

You can tell what you've done to me

To be seen in hell from your place in a tree

Always helping

Ever loving

But will you always

Be above me

I won't ignore nor will not forget

The kindness that s been done to me

You are the surest and safest bet that

I could ask for

So I m asking

Soon we will be side by side the

Plane will land and the wings will glide

The bags in hand and

The car will drive

Into you

I will arrive

By your side

By your side
