lyrics

this city's so fucking big
I'm so fucking small
but today i looked like shit
and was glad that strangers here
don't care at all about me
in this city
they seem happy too
if I don't care about them

you're asleep
I'm wide awake
in the morning I'll be sleeping
while you're running for the train
you'll be counting minutes
I'm counting heart beats
listening to sirens wail
and cats fight in the street

if we had time
just one whole day
we could lay here reading stories
and listening to the rain
I'd run my fingers
across your body
and feel your fingers walk across me
just the same

if we had time
just one whole year
we'd find a way to live forever
without working anymore
it might be boring
it might be maddening
still think I'd like the chance to find out
just the same

this city's so fucking big
I'm so glad I'm small
if this place looked just like me
don't think I'd like it here at all
it's got it's money
it's got ambitions
seems I've got less and less
of those two things each day

so while you sleep
while I'm awake
I hope my chatter and the street noise
all sound pleasant in your dreams
and if you heard me
while you remember
be sure to kiss me in the morning
as you leave
