Lyrics
London knows me in a way that nowhere else does
London holds a deep understanding of the speaker that is unmatched by any other place.
Sees me at my strongest, and when I’m lost
London witnesses the speaker in both their strength and vulnerability.
London shows me who I am and who I once was
London reveals the speaker's true identity and reminds them of their past self.
When my head and heart both have their wires crossed
The speaker acknowledges confusion and conflict between their thoughts and emotions.
London, hold me as I’m coming down from this high
The speaker asks London for support during a difficult moment.
He’s all I’ve ever known, but then again I won’t deny that

What I have come to find is that no matter what I might have to leave behind

There’s growth in falling apart, there’s laughter between the darker moments, romance in the loneliness
Acknowledging growth in difficult times, finding joy in dark moments, and recognizing romance in solitude.
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
Finding hope in a broken heart and dancing amid life's disasters.
Crumbling then crawling back to who I was before
Experiencing a process of breaking down and rebuilding, returning to the person the speaker used to be.
I’m crying out for the cure

I awake each day to feel the weight of the change
The weight of change is felt every day upon waking up.
Heavy on my chest, and try to embrace it
The speaker tries to embrace the changes while feeling the heaviness on their chest.
As I make my way toward the underground train
Heading towards the underground train, the speaker sees a familiar face among strangers.
Swear I see his face amongst all these strangers
Love is a ruthless thing, but it won’t dare to render me unless
Love is described as ruthless, but the speaker emphasizes resilience and the ability to overcome pain.
Bruises show resilience, let brilliance override and agony subside
Resilience is highlighted, suggesting that brilliance can triumph over agony.

Reiteration of the theme of growth, laughter in darkness, and finding romance in solitude.
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
Continued exploration of hope in the midst of a broken heart and dancing through life's disasters.
Crumbling then crawling back to who I was before

I’m crying out for the cure

Maybe I’m okay without your advice

Guess that our old ways are no longer right
Recognition that old ways are no longer suitable.
I’m missing you like mad, no I don’t need to think twice
Despite missing someone intensely, the speaker doesn't hesitate to move forward.
But there’s more to this limited life than hoping you’ll leave on the light
Life holds more than yearning for the return of light.

Reiteration of the theme of growth, laughter in darkness, and finding romance in solitude.
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
