[Verse 1]
I wrote you a letter, couldn't spell out your name
The call of the wild says our youth was to blame
Hold dreams of a sweet life, no ghosts in the town
The silver in your eyes is bringing me down

[Pre-Chorus]
And if we play this right we can take the world
But I left my heart in London
If we play this right we can take the world
But I left my heart in London

[Chorus]
With the girl in the golden city
Let it burn in the golden city
It's getting harder for me now to juggle everything
The pressure is building, bubbling, boiling, it's under my skin

[Verse 2]
A million believers, but this song is for you
I know we can make it, coasting into the blue

[Pre-Chorus]
And if we play this right we can take the world
But I left my heart in London
If we play this right we can take the world
But I left my heart in London

[Chorus - Variation]
With the girl in the golden city
Let it burn in the golden city
Just a girl in the golden city
In the dawn of the golden city
