City of Angels

[Verse 1: Damian McGinty]
Just the kid with his eyes wide open
Came to town ‘cause they said I’m a star
Big dreams and a brand new passport
Couldn’t drive, didn’t even have a credit card
Had a job that the crowd was chasing
Working with a bunch of broken hearts
Now this perfect life that I’m facing
Is all coming apart

[Pre-Chorus: Damian McGinty]
It’s not that I don’t like the mountain tops
Just can’t escape the bracing for the drop

[Chorus: Damian McGinty & Cozi Zuehlsdorff]
City of angels, you’re not what you seem
Take our halos, and give us limousines
And every time you pull me in
Oh, I say to you, I say to you
Surely I’ll be stronger now
I won’t pray to you, I won't pray to you

[Verse 2: Cozi Zuehlsdorff]
Just a girl with her arms wide open
And her face on a movie screen
Came here with faith and believing
Told me I was so green
Through the joys and the tribulations
I got one thing clear
Found out the light I was searching for
Wouldn’t find it here

[Pre-Chorus: Cozi Zuehlsdorff]
It’s not that I don’t like the mountain top
It’s just not mine to climb, and I wanna stop

[Chorus: Damian McGinty & Cozi Zuehlsdorff]
City of angels, you’re not what you seem
Take our halos, and give us limousines
And every time you pull me in
Oh, I say to you, I say to you
Surely I’ll be stronger now
I don’t pray to you, I won't pray to you

[Chorus: Damian McGinty & Cozi Zuehlsdorff]
City of angels, you’re not what you seem
Take our halos, and give us limousines
And every time you pull me in
Oh, I say to you, I say to you
Surely I’ll be stronger now
I don’t pray to you, I won't pray to you

[Outro: Damian McGinty & Cozi Zuehlsdorff]
Just a dream like a kite on the skyline
Let it go, let it float away
Hope the wind blows part of me home and
Make peace with the part that stays
