[Verse 1: Torquil Campbell, Amy Millan] I measure life in coffee cups I spend the day alone too much I call and call, you're never there Wait for your shadow on the stairs [Verse 2] I disappear in subway light And I'm too weary for the fight This city takes its toll on me Where is the one I used to be? [Verse 3] We drink the night until the day You sleep with me but you don't stay I feel time race when I'm with you I lose my place when I'm with you Hold our breath When the sirens are calling our name We got one day left in the city We gotta hold our breath When the sirens are calling our name We got one day left in the city We got one day left [Verse 4] I measure life in grams and bags Sunday sunset how it drags I'm tired of looking for a sign I'm not yours and you're not mine [Verse 5] One trick, one line, one for the weekend It's not the love it seems you're seeking Hold on, have faith, come back to me It's over now - go on be free Hold our breath When the sirens are calling our name We got one day left in the city We gotta hold our breath When the sirens are calling our name We got one day left in the city We got one day left Didn't feel lost 'til I didn't have you Cities behind and up front's all blue I hear you climbing up my back stairs I turn around and you're there*3
