lyrics

The last time I left the city you were standing in the street
Stubborn and swearing in a sundress, you were calling out to me
Pennsylvania Station, slumped in a window seat
I swear your voice carried from Pigtown, pleading desperately
You belong here

Fireworks in the harbor place, the swearing in of summertime
Rooftop parties and cash bars would bleed my wallet dry
You’d wear those flats with the open toes to show your foot tattoo
The cracks & jabs from the upper class would never get to you
You belong here

Amid the hustle, the bright lights and the bums
But the stars never shine in the city sky and the night air weighs too much

The whistle cries from the night train like a high and lonesome sound
My heart sinks heavy in my Oxfords and weighs the Amtrak down
Petulant and pensive, I recall my nights with you
I’ll count the days til the next one … they won’t come a day too soon

One thing darling, promise you’ll never leave
If I’m lost on a reason to come back, you’ll be all the reason I need
You belong here
