lyrics

I love the city but it don't love me
I miss the way things used to be
Sometimes I just drive around
Remembering

Before
The bulldozers came
took away the landscape I knew

There's where the cafe was, a few years back
That was our friends place, but don't look back

It's an empty gravel lot inside the fence
Soon they'll put up something I won't comprehend
With this backwards-looking ball in my head

I want answers the city can't give me
I want a home that stays the same for just a little while

I love the city but it don't love me
We've got a complicated relationship you see
There's the city, the streets the buildings then there's me
We both expect the other to be something we can never really be
