Does anyone have the time to bring me down?
And can I sleep all night long to the drums of the city rain?
Just make it up-
Cuz I'm awake all night long to the drums of the city rain
And brother if you have the chance to pick me up?
And can I sleep on your couch to the pound of the ache and pain?
In my head- cuz I'm awake all night long to the drums of the city rain
The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take- to make us feel this
I can't go back
Don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still-
Hear the drums of the city rain
Does anyone have the guts to shut me up?
Cuz I believe, that every night
There's a chance we can walk away
So hold on tight-
Because I won't wait too long, in the drums of the beating rain
Cuz the nights don't last
And we leave alone
Will you drive me back?
Can you take me home?
The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take- to make us feel this I can't go back, I don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain
Faces I don't know
I am tired in the glow
Of the freezing club
Keep me breathing don't make the lights come back
Can you take me home?
We all need this when we leave alone
Remember when you and I would make things up?
So many nights, just take me down to the place we would hear them play
I miss that sound
Cuz now we don't sing so loud
To the drums of the city rain
The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take- to make us feel this I can't go back, I don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain
Like strangers laugh and like subways feel
Things I'm trying to break
Oh, just wait until this is all we have- to keep us ill
I won't breathe tonight as long as I still hear the drums of the city rain meaning  byReddMuffin this song is for Gerard's brother Mikey who was going through the same things as he was back in the mid 2000s (suicidal thoughts/depression). this is evident⦠See all
