The City And Me

(album: Relax! Nothing Is Under Control! - 2021)

Has it really been a year
Since you disembarked
The last time you were here
It felt like just the start
I know you love this place
And the city is
Considerate
It misses you too
It's saying

When will you walk through my woods again
Eat up my foods again
We'll keep all your favourites open
When will you skate on my ground again
Laugh in my town again
When will you cross the ocean

Come back to us
Just for a moment
If it's not too much fuss
We'll make you feel at home again
The shelves are stocked
In anticipation of your landing
Cos this is what we want
The city
The city
The city and me

The city's always changing
And so, it seems, am I
So if we seem impatient
I guess that's the reason why
So what are you waiting for
I got all day
Get on a train
And make your way through

Come back to us
Just for a moment
If it's not too much fuss
We'll make you feel at home again
The shelves are stocked
In anticipation of your landing
Cos this is what we want
The city
The city
The city and me

When will you walk through my woods again
Eat up my foods again
We'll keep all your favourites open
When will you skate on my ground again
Laugh in my town again
When will you cross the ocean

Come back to us
Just for a moment
If it's not too much fuss
We'll make you feel at home again
If you wanted to
And if we're not being too demanding
We hope you'll see us soon
The city
The city
The city and me
