lyrics

I left my home in the country
To move out west where dreams are formed
To find myself and maybe make a little money
And convince my friends that I could make it on my own
I surprised myself by finding out...

As I step outside for a cup of coffee
There's a familiar brand on every corner of every street
And I ride the train in the midst of an army
Equipped with cellular phones to distance themselves from unpleasant reality
All the passenger's heads nod in agreement

The city is a sad and lonely place
The city has a dark embittered taste
The city is a grim unsmiling face
And it haunts me

I can't keep waiting here forever
Knowing if I don't do something now I never will start pulling it together
And I had to lose myself to find it out

The city is a cold unfriendly place
The city has a dark embittered taste
The city is a grim unsmiling face
And it haunts me, it haunts me

I can't keep waiting here forever
Knowing if I don't do something now I never will start pulling it together
Something has to change

I can't keep waiting here forever
Knowing if I don't do something now I never will start pulling it together
The decision's up to me

And I had to lose myself to find it out
I found it out
