(Ooh-ah-ah) (Ooh-ah-ah-ahah) Sometimes I feel like giving up, like the whole world's against me Carpe diem You may not see another sunset, too busy try'na make your name This ain't the end Living in a heart of stone (woah!) Reaching for the stars with your hands tied You work your fingers to the bone (woah!) You better make your move while there's still time Bright lights, big city I don't wanna be alone Bright lights, big city I can't make it on my own Somebody's always pushing past to get ahead in the rat race Straight to the top It's hard to see a happy ending when I swim against the tide But this is my shot Bright lights, big city I don't wanna be alone Bright lights, big city I can't make it on my own What am I doing, don't know what to say Running in circles, I'm a mess everyday Cycles repeating (woah!), can't find my stop Endless and pointless, will I make it or not? Bright lights, big city I don't wanna be alone Bright lights, big city I can't make it on my own
