Ba-ba-da-ba, da-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-da-ba, da-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-da-ba, da-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-ba-ba

I think about that day

I left him at a Greyhound station

West of Santa Fé

We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true

Still I did what I had to do

Cause I just knew

Summer Sunday nights

We'd sink into our seats

Right as they dimmed out all the lights

A Technicolor world made out of music and machine

It called me to be on that screen

And live inside each scene

Without a nickel to my name

Hopped a bus, here I came

Could be brave or just insane

We'll have to see

Cause maybe in that sleepy town

He'll sit one day, the lights are down

He'll see my face and think of how

He used to know me

Climb these hills

I'm reaching for the heights

And chasing all the lights that shine (lights that shine)

And when they let you down (it's another day of)

You'll get up off the ground (it's another day of)

Cause morning rolls around

And it's another day of sun

I hear 'em every day

The rhythms in the canyons

That'll never fade away

The ballads in the barrooms

Left by those who came before

They say "you gotta want it more"

So I bang on every door

And even when the answer's "no"

Or when my money's running low

The dusty mic and neon glow

Are all I need

And someday as I sing my song

A small-town kid'll come along

That'll be the thing to push him on and go, go

Climb these hills, I'm reaching for the heights

And chasing all the lights that shine (lights that shine)

And when they let you down (it's another day of)

You'll get up off the ground (it's another day of)

Cause morning rolls around

And it's another day of sun

And when they let you down

The morning rolls around

It's another day of sun (oh)

It's another day of sun (oh)

It's another day of sun (sun, sun, sun, sun)

It's just another day of sun (oh)

Just another day of sun (oh)

It's another day of sun (sun)

Another day has just begun (oh)

It's another day of sun

It's another day of sun

[TRACY]

You got the invitation

[ALEXIS]

You got the right address

[TRACY]

You need some medication?

[CAITLIN]

The answer's always yes

[TRACY]

A little chance encounter

Could be the one you've waited for

[ALEXIS, CAITLIN & TRACY]

Just squeeze a bit more

[ALEXIS]

Tonight we're on a mission

Tonight's the casting call

[CAITLIN]

If this is the real audition

[MIA]

Oh, God, help us all

[TRACY]

You make the right impression

Then ev'rybody knows your name

[AlEXIS & CAITLIN]

We're in the fast lane

[ALEXIS]

Someone in the crowd

Could be the one you need to know

The one to fin'lly lift you off the ground

[TRACY]

Someone in the crowd could

Take you where you wanna go

If you're the someone ready to be found

[ALEXIS]

The someone ready to be found

[CAITLIN & TRACY]

Do what you need to do

Til they discover you

[ALEXIS, CAITLIN & TRACY]

And make you more than who

You're seeing now

So with the stars aligned

[MIA]

I think I'll stay behind

[ALEXIS, CAITLIN & TRACY]

You've got to go and find

[CAITLIN]

That someone in the crowd

[ALL]

That someone in the crowd

[Instru Solo Break]

[MIA]

Is someone in the crowd the only thing you really see?

Watching while the world keeps spinning 'round?

Somewhere there's a place where I find who I'm gonna be

A somewhere that's just waiting to be found

[ALL]

Someone in the crowd could be the one you need to know

The someone who could lift you off the ground

Someone in the crowd could take you where you wanna go

Someone in the crowd could make you

Someone in the crowd could take you

Flying off the ground

If you're someone ready to be found

[SEBASTIAN]

The sun is nearly gone

The lights are turning on

A silver shine that stretches to the sea

We've stumbled on a view

That's tailor-made for two

What a shame those two are you and me

Some other girl and guy

Would love this swirling sky

But there's only you and I

And we've got no shot

This could never be

You're not the type for me

[MIA]

Really?

[SEBASTIAN]

And there's not a spark in sight

What a waste of a lovely night

[MIA]

You say there's nothing here?

Well, let's make something clear

I think I'll be the one to make that call

[SEBASTIAN]

But you'll call?

[MIA]

And though you looked so cute

In your polyester suit

[SEBASTIAN]

It's wool

[MIA]

You're right, I'd never fall for you at all

And maybe this appeals

To someone not in heels

Or to any girl who feels

There's some chance for romance

[SEBASTIAN]

(whistling)

[MIA]

But, I'm frankly feeling nothing

[SEBASTIAN]

Is that so?

[MIA]

Or it could be less than nothing

[SEBASTIAN]

Good to know

So you agree?

[MIA]

That's right

[SEBASTIAN & MIA]

What a waste of a lovely night

[Sebastian:]

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

There's so much that I can't see

Who knows?

I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you

[Mia:]

That now our dreams may finally come true

City of stars

Just one thing everybody wants

There in the bars

And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants

It's love

Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else

[Sebastian:]

A rush

[Mia:]

A glance

[Sebastian:]

A touch

[Mia:]

A dance

[Both:]

A look in somebody's eyes

To light up the skies

To open the world and send it reeling

A voice that says, I'll be here

And you'll be alright

I don't care if I know

Just where I will go

Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling

A rat-tat-tat on my heart

[Sebastian:]

Think I want it to stay

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

[Mia:]

You never shined so brightly

[Sebastian:]

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

There's so much that I can't see

Who knows?

I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you

[Mia:]

That now our dreams may finally come true

City of stars

Just one thing everybody wants

There in the bars

And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants

It's love

Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else

[Sebastian:]

A rush

[Mia:]

A glance

[Sebastian:]

A touch

[Mia:]

[Both:]

A look in somebody's eyes

To light up the skies

To open the world and send it reeling

A voice that says, I'll be here

I don't care if I know

Just where I will go

Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling

A rat-tat-tat on my heart

[Sebastian:]

Think I want it to stay

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

[Mia:]

You never shined so brightly

[Intro: Mia, spoken]

My aunt used to live in Paris. I remember, she used to come home and tell us these stories about being abroad and I remember she told us that she jumped into the river once, barefoot

She smiled...

[Verse 1: Mia, sung]

Leapt, without looking

And tumbled into the Seine

The water was freezing

She spent a month sneezing

But said she would do it again

[Chorus 1]

Here's to the ones who dream

Foolish as they may seem

Here's to the hearts that ache

Here's to the mess we make

[Verse 2]

She captured a feeling

Sky with no ceiling

The sunset inside a frame

She lived in her liquor

And died with a flicker

I'll always remember the flame

[Chorus 1]

Here's to the ones who dream

Foolish as they may seem

Here's to the hearts that ache

Here's to the mess we make

[Bridge]

She told me:

A bit of madness is key To give us new colors to see Who knows where it will lead us? And that's why they need us

So bring on the rebels

The ripples from pebbles

The painters, and poets, and plays

[Chorus 2]

And here's to the fools who dream

Crazy as they may seem

Here's to the hearts that break

Here's to the mess we make

[Outro]

I trace it all back to then

Her, and the snow, and the Seine

Smiling through it

She said she'd do it again

City of stars

Are you shining just for me

City of stars

There's so much that I can't see

Who knows

I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you

That now our dreams

They've finally come true

City of stars

Just one thing everybody wants

There in the bars

And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants

It's love

Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else

A rush

A glance

A touch

A dance

A look in somebody's eyes

To light up the skies

To open the world and send it reeling

A voice that says, I'll be here

And you'll be alright

I don't care if I know

Just where I will go

Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling

A rat-tat-tat on my heart

Think I want it to stay

City of stars

Are you shining just for me

City of stars

You never shined so brightly
