The City
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.
Before I ever settle down
I need a few rules I need to pick from the ground
For starters I'm not cut out for lack of reliance and abundance of doubt
Plus I'm really struggling with the words to say
Let me start over again
You're looking at me like I could never begin
It's not that I'm reaching in
In fact it's the opposite my reach is too sinned
Plus I'm really struggling with the words to say
Hey I went down to the city
And I lost my breath getting ready
Just to pass the test of the stories
Hey I went down to the country
With exhaust I held myself steady
With the loss of all inventory
And its never gonna get you down
Body in a faceless crowd
Surrenders and screams give me hand me downs
(Whistle solo)
Plus I'm really struggling with the words to say
Hey I went down to the city
And I lost my breath getting ready
Just to pass the test of the stories
Hey I went down to the country
With exhaust I held myself steady
With the loss of all inventory
And its never gonna get you dwon
Never gonna get you down
Never gonna get you down
Never gonna get you down
