City of Glass

verse 1

Look what we've made from melted sand
Expert drawings, expert plans
Let the reader understand
It's a delicate triumph

Here in this city of glass
Fragile walls can tumble fast
All it takes is just one crack
Proceed with caution

pre-chorus 1

We built this thing together
We hoped it would last forever

chorus 1

Oh, so fragile
And so beautiful
Oh, please be careful
Please, please don't let it fall down

verse 2

Please don't be so cavalier
We can't be throwing stones in here
The bull in the china shop is fear
Best to move slowly

Things aren't always as they seem
Interpreting reality
Are these lies or prophecies
Time will tell

pre-chorus 2

We - we're interconnected
Let's fix the fractures we've detected

chorus 1

Oh, so fragile
And so beautiful
Oh, please be careful
Please, please don't let it fall

chorus 2

Oh, things can break so quickly
Come tumbling to the ground
Oh, try to tread lightly
Please, let's not mess around
Oh please, please don't let it fall down
