City Song Lyrics - Singles - Emmy The Great

The city called me so I came 

It isn't mine to question what it said 

I sleep until the point when I'm awake 

I walk until there's nothing left to trek 

And everyone is looking for an answer 

And everyone is waiting for a break 

I came and I was bored of it soon after 

But I had nowhere to go and so I stayed 

I dreamed a lifetime of this place 

It seemed an awful thing to waste 

Well the morning fills my mouth up with decay 

I like it, it reminds me how you taste 

Sometimes I feel you rising up behind me like the wind 

But I still try to look away 

What will you look like when you're old? 

(What will you look like when you're old?) 

What will I do if I don't know you? 

(What will I do if I don't know you?) 

I guess that I decided not to ask the day I took the road 

Down to the city as it called 

Sun making silhouettes of gauze 

I don't remember you at all 

The city called me and I came 

It isn't mine to question why 

Sometimes the clouds will rise ahead, I hear your name 

It's like a choir in the sky 

What will you look like when you're old? 

(What will you look like when you're old?) 

What will I do if I don't know you? 

(What will I do if I don't know you?) 

I guess that I decided not to know the day I took the road 

Down to the city as it called 

Sun making silhouettes of gauze 

I don't remember you at all 

They pulled a human from my waist 

It had your mouth, it had your face 

I would have kept it if I'd stayed.
