The City Lyrics by ​new threads

Death in the Afternoon

2017

We drove out to Missouri last weekend
And we saw the Arch from a mile away
And I couldn’t wait
To finally see the gateway
Of the western scape

But I can’t pretend that I wasn’t nervous
Can’t believe we’d actually do this
I just want to stay

I
Love it, love it
I
Need it, need it
I
Miss it, miss it
I feel like the word is holding out on me
I love this city

We drove down to Atlanta last Friday
And Nick let us stay in his crib
And I opened my eyes
As I fumbled my keys
Cuz I just couldn’t wait

But I can’t pretend I wasn’t terrified
Can’t prepare for it this time
But now I want to stay

I
Love it, love it
I
Need it, need it
I
Miss it, miss it
I feel like the word is holding out on me
I love this city
