00:09You flinch at sirens on the TV You say it sounds like breaking glass
00:18I sip my coffee from a paper cup Counting exits, mapping paths
00:27Your walls are covered up with postcards Mountains, oceans, endless green
00:37I trace the outline of your hometown Like a map I've never seen
00:45Don't cry, I'm just from the city Raised on late trains and two bright nights
00:55Don't cry, if my calm looks pretty I just learned to breathe under flashing lights
01:03Don't cry, I'm just from the city
01:14You ask why I don't lock the back door I shrug and say old habit, love, love
01:23I sleep best under quiet chaos Engines humming somewhere above
01:32You fold your fears like faded sweaters Hide them high where you can't see
01:41I leave mine right there on the chair So they can't sneak up on me
01:50Don't cry, I'm just from the city Raised on late trains and two bright nights
01:58Don't cry, if my calm looks pretty I just learned to breathe under flashing lights
02:07Don't cry, I'm just from the city
02:17You hold my face like I might vanish Like a headline waiting to be read
02:26I hold your head I hold your hand like it's railing on a running stair instead
02:32I hold your hand like it's railing On a running stair instead
02:38I'm just from the city
02:45Don't cry, if my calm looks pretty I just learned to breathe under flashing lights
02:54Don't cry, if my calm looks pretty I'm just from the city
02:59I'm just from the city
03:04You hold my face like I might vanish Like a headline waiting to be read
03:14I hold your hand like it's railing On a running stair instead
03:21Don't cry, if my calm looks pretty I'm just from the city
03:25I'm just from the city
03:31Don't cry
03:33I'm just from the city
03:36Raised on late trains and two bright nights
03:40Don't cry
03:42If my calm looks pretty
03:45I just learned to breathe under flashing lights
03:50Don't cry
03:53I'm just from the city
04:02I'm just from the city
