lyrics

Worlds away from where you’re sitting now
I can clear my head
By the riverbed
And though you’re still here in my thoughts somehow
Seems you slipped away

Perhaps I’ve been afraid to lose control
Or to make my peace
With the memories
But something ‘bout this city’s aging soul
Lets me breathe again
Like a long lost friend

I make my peace with what has been
And melt into this overwhelming scene

Kid you better watch out
You don’t know where I’ve been
Oh, you foolish child
I know you haven’t seen
These broken lights of Saint Petersburg

Saint Petersburg, you sparkle in the dark
Play your melody
Like it’s just for me
But a million fates have stumbled to your heart
And they intertwine
And they alter mine

Kid you better watch out
You don’t know where I’ve been
Oh, you foolish child
I know you haven’t seen
These broken lights of Saint Petersburg

And the growing might of this distant world

Kid you better watch out
You don’t know where I’ve been
Oh, you foolish child
I know you haven’t seen
These broken lights of Saint Petersburg

We never had an ending
But I don’t care
I’m making new beginnings
And dropping you off here

And you may have been
A blessing in disguise
A detour in my story
A part of my life

Kid you better watch out
You don’t know where I’ve been
Oh, you foolish child
I know you haven’t seen
These broken lights of Saint Petersburg

The broken lights of Saint Petersburg
