作词 : Chronic Future Well all these people of the city will keep you in the blind spots Especially when they know that you're out looking to sign dots I tried to tell this girl how twisted my mind got But it's her dream to ride the conveyor belt of that sidewalk She's got the intentions of being number one But can she handle rejection in the city of no sun? Where bricks change colors faster than careers do And few people drive away and like what's in the rear view New York City's so far away But I can't wait even for one more day They say these things come and these things go But if I don't try I'll never know She don't care what it takes she knows she's got the ability And with what her folks make she knows she'd have stability She just needs to get out there and step toward her validity She can't keep dying over this 'cause it's just killing me She's just not used to footsteps diggin' in her chest High-heeled investments and suits getting undressed Growing hold and having new recruits become the best And finding that she's stepped on everyone and no one's left New York City's so far away But I can't wait even for one more day They say these things come and these things go But if I don't try I'll never know New York City's so far away But I can't wait even for one more day They say these things come and these things go But if I don't try I'll never know Well it hurts like walking barefoot on light bulbs Smashing ideas with open skin' Til the pearl white drops of blood turn red And everyone can tell that you've worked hard enough, it's time to go Go get your map and compass and don't listen to them And don't think about how much time you're fixing to spend The dirt only ends when the pavement begins This is your heart your dream and you're your only friend, so go You can kick the earth as hard as you want To show your frustration Or you can get in your car and kick your foot to the gas And keep accelerating 'til you hit your destination, so go New York City's so far away But I can't wait even for one more day They say these things come and these things go But if I don't try I'll never know New York City's so far away But I can't wait even for one more day They say New York City's so far away But I can't wait even for one more day
