Lyrics
City boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He wakes up
Wakes up early today
He doesn't feel like
Feel like going through this routine day
Oh oh, he runs to, runs to
Catch a spot on the subway
(On the subway.)
He gets to, gets to work this five fast day.
When he sees her
He's not just a typical city boy
She makes him feel like so much more
She helped him believe things are more than they seem
And have some hope
His friends they
Friends they laugh and say he's crazy
Because he believes his life will really go somewhere
(Really go somewhere)
Oh I know that, know that
Sometimes life seems so unfair
But some day, some day, I know he'll get there
'Cause when he sees her
He's not just a typical city boy
She makes him feel like so much more
She helped him believe things are more than they seem
And have some hope
Yeah-eah.
Oh, yeah.
Again.
He wakes up in the morning
He finds he's all blown out
And inside he hears a warning
Can he be enough?
Can people see that, see that
He's too good to be true?
And it's hard to believe after all that he's been through
I've never seen someone so thrilled with love like you
How can it be you, be you, can I see it too?
Because to me he's not just a typical city boy
Because to me, he's so much more
He helped me believe things are more than they seem
And I have some hope
Not just a typical city boy
She makes him feel like so much more
She helped him believe things are more than they seem
And have some hope
Yeah-eah.
Oh, again.
Yeah-eah-eah-eah.
Because you're so much more than me
(Yeah)
So much more
(Oh, again)
You're so much more to me
(Yeah)
So much more
(More than ...)
You're so much more to me
