The City Gives It Back - SOL ARIA
词:Zhong Junxian
曲:Zhong Junxian
Gives it back
the city gives it back
I thought the city only took
a little shine from me
Every door and every engine
spent my battery
I would count the noise around me
like coins I had to pay
Then come home with empty pockets
at the ending of the day
But the bus door breathes in rhythm
and the glass turns gold and blue
A drummer on the corner
throws the beat across my shoes
Neon draws a little halo
on the crosswalk after rain
I bring one light into the city
and it gives me two again
The city gives it back
When I bring my good mood out
It sends a little brighter wave
through the moving crowd
The city gives it back
I am not just losing light
I carry one spark down the street
and get a skyline back tonight
Gives it back
gives it back
The window of a noodle shop
turns orange on my face
The traffic makes a tempo
that my heartbeat wants to chase
I am not a drained out battery
I am not a fading sign
The city can be heavy
but it can be kind sometimes
But the bus door breathes in rhythm
and the glass turns gold and blue
A drummer on the corner
throws the beat across my shoes
Neon draws a little halo
on the crosswalk after rain
I bring one light into the city
and it gives me two again
The city gives it back
When I bring my good mood out
It sends a little brighter wave
through the moving crowd
The city gives it back
I am not just losing light
I carry one spark down the street
and get a skyline back tonight
I used to think outside meant empty
I used to save myself inside
But I can meet the street halfway
and let it multiply
I am not only spending joy
I am learning how it moves
What I bring into the city
finds a way to bring me through
The city gives it back
When I bring my good mood out
It sends a little brighter wave
through the moving crowd
The city gives it back
I am not just losing light
I carry one spark down the street
and get a skyline back tonight
The city gives it back
gives it back
