The City
Now I notice the streetlamp's hum The ghosts of graffiti they couldn't quite erase The blank-faced stares on the subway As the people go home The parks lay empty like my unmade bed The streets are silent like my lifeless telephone And this is where I live, but I've never felt less at home So I'm not unsympathetic I see why you left There's no one to know There's nothing to do The city's been dead Since you've been gone…
Sometimes I stand on my roof at night And watch, as something seems to happen somewhere else I feel like the breeze will pick me up and carry me away Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Out and over this iridescent grid Up and away from the bar fights and neon lights Out and away from everything that makes me what I am So I'm not unsympathetic I see why you left There's no one to know There's nothing to do The city's been dead Since you've been gone…
Oh I never had just whatever it is you want, baby And I really tried, I tried with all my might—it made me crazy To try to figure out what it is I've done wrong every time When everything I love, everything I hold dear Heads out sometime And all I ever say now is good-bye.
