Song About a City

[Verse 1]

I used to take the train

Upstate to see the colors change

Nothing's falling quite the same

No matter where I land

This New York City rooftop bar

Just looks up at the same old stars

Thought that I had come so far

But it doesn’t matter where I am

[Chorus]

I took two steps in Austin

One back in Boston

Tried to love something new

I found a lonesome highway

Brand new skyline

But nothing could change my tune

Wish I could write a song about a city

Instead of songs about you

[Verse 2]

I thought I'd find a brand new leaf

Drive on out to Joshua Tree

Dry those tears in desert heat

But the silence was too loud

I wish that I could make the most

Of the magic on this coast

Can't see the beauty through the ghost

That I’m still dragging around

[Chorus]

All the way from Monterrey

Santa Fe

Just trying to love something new

I found a lonesome highway

Brand new skyline

But nothing could change my tune

Wish I could write a song about a city

Instead of songs about you

[Bridge]

But it doesn't matter where I am

No, it doesn't matter where I am

[Chorus]

If I take two steps in Austin

One back in Boston

Tried to love something new

I found a lonesome highway

Brand new skyline

But nothing could change my tune

Wish I could write a song about a city

Instead of songs about you

Wish I could write a song about a city

Instead of songs about you
