音乐咖啡厅:City Of My Heart 心中之城

英文歌词：

Ooh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Way over here from across the street.
Wanna jump out the window, make you notice me.
But when you give me the eye, I become a nervous guy (Yeah)
Wish I could take you to a place where my palms¹ stay dry.
When we're around each other, we'd never get shy.
I know it sounds make believe but it's not, let me get by you.

Can't believe I'm not living in a place
Where the wings and the cars go up, up, up.
And if you're ever stuck in traffic
Cars pass by as if in a rush, rush.
Wait 'til the rain like. (Ooh)

If you see the city across that sea.
Way of the lake, our destiny².
It takes place inside of me, in the city of my heart.
When I touch a boat, we could run on it bare feet.
Lay back on it like we're chilling³ on the beach.
And we can bring back the spark⁴, in the city of my heart.

Ooh, oh oh oh
In the city of my heart, my heart.
In the city of my heart, in the city of my heart,
in the city of my heart, my heart
In the city of my heart

You can see it better if you close your eyes.
Hold my hand, let me take you on a carpet ride.
Don't be scared when we rise above new heights. (Yeah)
And the promise girl, when it turns midnight.
The dress won't go away like fairytale life.
And if you leave your glass slipper⁵ behind I would find you.

Can't believe I'm not living in a place
Where the wings and the cars go up, up, up.
And if you're ever stuck in traffic
Cars pass by as if in a rush, rush.
Wait 'til the rain like. (Ooh)

If you see the city across that sea.
Way of the lake, our destiny.
It takes place inside of me, in the city of my heart.
When I touch a boat, we could run on it bare feet.
Lay back on it like we're chilling on the beach.
And we can bring back the spark, in the city of my heart.

Ooh, oh oh oh
In the city of my heart, my heart.
In the city of my heart, in the city of my heart,
in the city of my heart, my heart
In the city of my heart

Lets run on the clouds, we won't fall through it.
Baby don't look down, I'll be your parachute⁶.
I'll guide you now, catch you if you fall.
Let me reassure⁷, you can count on me.
Lets start another rainbow baby when we land in a pot of gold.
Then we'll be better then we ever been before.
Give you a tour in the city of my heart (Ooh woah, oh no, no no)

If you see the city across that sea.
Way of the lake, our destiny.
It takes place inside of me, in the city of my heart.
When I touch a boat, we could run on it bare feet.
Lay back on it like we're chilling on the beach.
And we can bring back the spark, in the city of my heart.

Ooh, oh oh oh
In the city of my heart, my heart.
In the city of my heart, in the city of my heart,
in the city of my heart, my heart
In the city of my heart
In the city of my heart.
My heart, ay-oh no, in the city of my..
