Hundred-Story City

Hundred-Story City Lyrics

Hundred-Story City Song Lyrics

---

What am I doing here
In the middle of freaking New York City
Blurting out proposals and holding
Cabernet And what am I doing here with Claire
Trying to push our lives somewhere
She clearly doesn't want since she is gone
And if we're moving nowhere
Should I move on I moved to the city
And I thought I couldn't take it
And certainly I never thought I'd stay
But then she came along and was
The one thing in the city
That made me feel like I belonged here
Every single day
No matter where she'd take me
Somehow she would always make me feel a Part of some great tapestry
The world had spun And I could always look at her And not feel so alone
But suddenly that's done Isn't it...
Cause now I can't make heads or tails
Of what we have been doing
I thought stepping up and moving in
Would make things clear
The one thing in the city
That I always thought was certain
Was that she and I were working hard
To build a future here
And maybe I was careless
Maybe I should try to wear less
Of my heart upon my sleeve
And let her say goodbye
But I don't want to start that now
I don't want to let go
Cause she's the only reason why
I'm livin in this hundred story city
Where you've got to hold on tight
To what you care for
She's why I'm one out of a hundred million people
Sticking out the angry cars
The crowded streets, the lack of stars
Putting up with so much that it's all a blur
And that's what I've been doing Just to be with her
So I don't understand what I'm supposed to do now
(Why are there so many people? Hey! Hello!)
(I don't understand these people always standing still)
(Why am I always standing still)
I don't want to be a person who is always standing still
I wish that I could make the people disappear
Except for her
(No crowds)(No moms)(A flier) (Some space) (More room to get through)
I just want to see her
(No bikes no walls no buildings in my way)
What am I doin in this hundred story city
Where you're always moving fast
But going nowhere
Oh I don't care if there's a hundred million people
I just want to be with one I always told you
Claire That there was nothing we wouldn't make it through
But you've unearthed a break up clause
Which is wanting to put life on pause
So Jesus Claire What now
