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
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
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
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
But it doesn't matter where I am
No, it doesn't matter where I am
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
