Meaning

The song is a tribute to city life and the city itself, especially how it comes alive during the nighttime.

Lyrics

Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
The night city grows
Look and see her eyes, they glow

Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Drinking in the lounge
Following the neon signs

Waiting for a roar
Looking at the mutating skyline
The city is my church (city is my church)
It wraps me in the sparkling twilight

Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Play with the song, fill the gaps
