Lyrics:

The song was originally going to be about Los Angeles, but the band was more partial to their home in SF.
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
Ooh, I wanna be there in my city, oh
Oh, oh, oh

So you think you're lonely?
Well, my friend, I'm lonely, too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Whoa, oh, oh

It's sad
Oh, there's been mornings
Out on the road without you
Without your charms
Oh, my-my, my, my, my, my
Whoa, oh, oh

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
Ooh, I wanna be there in my city, oh
Oh, oh, oh

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
Ooh, I wanna be there in my city, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Mmm
Whoa, oh, oh
