[Verse 1]
This letter is a shot in the dark
I don't know if you care at all
I'm just writing to say I'm alive

[Verse 2]
Goddamn city got a life of its own
The only problem is, I don't
I'm just writing to say I survived

[Chorus]
I wanna feel like I did back then
I wanna see my name in the lights again
I don't know how I ended up like this
I had the whole wide world at my fingertips

[Verse 3]
Ain't no funny business no more
I'm due for a laugh, for sure
I'm just writing to say my goodbye

[Chorus]
I wanna feel like I did back then
I wanna see my name in the lights again
I don't know how I ended up like this
I had the whole wide world at my fingertips
[Bridge]
I'm a fool, I'm a ghost, so it seems
Drowning in my squandered dreams
Haunting the night till the sun comes up on the city

[Chorus]
I wanna feel like I did back then
I wanna see my name in the lights again
I don't know how I ended up like this
I had the whole wide world at my fingertips

[Chorus]
I wanna feel like I did back then
I wanna see my name in the lights again
I wanna feel like I did back then
I wanna see that light in your eyes again
