The City Lyrics by Underline

The Thing Is...

2013

[Verse]
Where did you go?
How did you know to leave before me?
Did you outgrow
This town just like you said?
I know you know
That you'll be better off in the city
Those lights, they glow
Brighter than these ever have
(Whoa)
[Chorus]
I just feel like I have nothing to show
(The show is over so you can go home)
Don't ask me these questions because I don't know
(The show is over so you can go home)
[Verse]
Are you okay?
I'd like to say this is the first time that I broke down
Let's count the days
That it takes to leave this town
Not much to say
But I'm sure that I can't stick around
So lead the way
And let's start our new life now
[Chorus]
I just feel like I have nothing to show
(The show is over so you can go home)
Don't ask me these questions because I don't know
(The show is over so you can go home)
[Post-Chorus]
I don't think you understand what I'm looking for
But I'm not even sure that I know anymore
[Bridge]
(So long, goodbye for good!)
Tell nobody that I'll miss them
(I'll never be back!)
I'm better off without them
(So long, goodbye for good!)
Tell nobody that I'll miss them
(I'll never be back!)
I'm better off without...
[Coda]
I just feel like I have nothing to show
(The show is over so you can go home)
Don't ask me these questions because I don't know
(The show is over so you can go home)
