Lyrics
This city sleeps, it's going nowhere
This city is stagnant and unprogressive during its rest.
This city sleeps, I'm wide awake
While the city is asleep, the speaker is alert and awake.
I want you to pick me up
The speaker desires someone to uplift them.
Get me out of this place, oh
Request to be rescued from the current location.
Pick me up, pick me up
Repetition of the plea to be picked up.
So tired of these faces
Expressing weariness with familiar faces.
You and I will rule the world
Anticipation of a shared future where "you and I" have authority.
We'll lose our binds and find a way out
Breaking free from restrictions and discovering an escape together.
So done with sitting around waiting for a chance to come
Frustration with passivity, no longer waiting for opportunities.
You and I will rule the world
Reiteration of the expectation to jointly dominate the world.
The days are long, we make the most of
Embracing and maximizing the length of days.
The nights are young, we've left our mark now
Highlighting youthfulness and leaving a lasting impact at night.
Let's get out, let's get out
Encouragement to escape the current situation.
I don't wanna go in circles
Expressing a desire to avoid repetitive, unproductive patterns.
Hear me out, hear me out
Requesting attention and understanding from the listener.
This is us in the moment
Affirming the significance of the present moment for the couple.
You and I will rule the world
Reaffirmation of the shared vision to dominate the world together.
We'll make our move and find a way out
Determined action to make a move and escape together.
So done with sitting around waiting for the day to come
No longer waiting for a future day, emphasizing the urgency of action.
You and I will rule the world
Repetition of the expectation to jointly rule the world.
