lyrics
I was told that I could leave
I was told that I could see
But I was blind before I left the room
I was told that I could bleed
From these old pores underneath
But my skin’s grown far too cold
No, I guess I don’t need icebergs anymore
Oh, anymore
My friend he had his own shop
On the corner of a block
In the town where we were born
He sold caffeine by the pound
The people swarmed all around
It was an addiction we couldn’t let go
Oh, I guess we don’t need Starbucks anymore
Oh, anymore
We had our different beliefs
Oh, you believed in the trees
And I believed in something less tangible
I said we could move far away
You said “no, let’s just stay
and we’ll just start with what we know”
So, I packed up by bags
I headed straight for the tracks
I decided on New York City
Where the lights were the stars
And the graffiti’s the art
You asked if you wanted someone to hold
No, I didn’t need a lover anymore
Oh, anymore
I was told that I could see
But I was blind before I left the room
I was told that I could bleed
From these old pores underneath
But my skin’s grown far too cold
No, I guess I don’t need icebergs anymore
Oh, anymore
My friend he had his own shop
On the corner of a block
In the town where we were born
He sold caffeine by the pound
The people swarmed all around
It was an addiction we couldn’t let go
Oh, I guess we don’t need Starbucks anymore
Oh, anymore
We had our different beliefs
Oh, you believed in the trees
And I believed in something less tangible
I said we could move far away
You said “no, let’s just stay
and we’ll just start with what we know”
So, I packed up by bags
I headed straight for the tracks
I decided on New York City
Where the lights were the stars
And the graffiti’s the art
You asked if you wanted someone to hold
No, I didn’t need a lover anymore
Oh, anymore
