Song About a City Lyrics by Caroline Spence

Mint Condition

2019

[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
