Text: Bob Mould. Life and Times. City Lights (Days Go By).

Days go by
I wait to see the city lights
Clear view sky
I've got to make the most of this

I rewind the interstate
In my distant memory
Hateful logical
Cloudy calm and everything

Take the wheel
There's got to be an exit somewhere
The less I feel
The more I like the way you treat me

I respond to everything
Whispering into my eyes
So illogical
Cloudy calm and everything

I want you near me but I
Need the space for contemplation
I want you dearly but I
Need to find the city lights

Driving away from you
Someday I'll be back to find you
I hope you understand
I need to find my city lights
