00:05You've linked your sirens on the TV
00:10You say it sounds like breaking a glass
00:16I sip my coffee from a paper cup
00:20Counting exits, mad, pimp, and bad
00:27Your walls are covered up with postcards
00:31Mountains, oceans, endless green
00:38I trace the outline of your hometown
00:41Like a map I've never seen
00:48Don't cry, I'm just in the sea
00:52Raised on lake trains
00:55And two bright nights
00:59Don't cry, if my car looks pretty
01:03I just learned to breathe
01:05Under flashing lights
01:08Don't cry, I'm just from the city
01:16You ask why I don't lock the back door
01:21I shrug and say, old habit, love
01:26Love, I sleep best under quiet chaos
01:32Engines humming somewhere above
01:38You fold your fears like faded sweaters
01:41Hide them high where you can't see
01:49I leave mine right there on the chair
01:52So they can't sneak up on me
01:59Don't cry, I'm just from the city
02:03Don't cry, I'm just from the city
02:04Raised on lake trains
02:05And two bright nights
02:10Don't cry, if my car looks pretty
02:13I just learned to breathe
02:16Under the flashing lights
02:19Don't cry, I'm just from the city
02:27You hold my face like I might vanish
02:31Like a headline
02:33Waiting to be read
02:38I hold your hand like it's a railing
02:41On a running, staring, staring
02:45Stares
02:48Don't cry, I'm just from the city
02:52Don't cry, I'm just from the city
02:53Raised on lake trains
02:55And two bright nights
02:59Don't cry, if my car looks pretty
03:03I just learned to breathe
03:05Under flashing lights
03:08Don't cry, I'm just from the city
03:21You hold my face like I might vanish
03:26Like a headline waiting to be read
03:32I hold your hand like it's a railing
03:36I'm running, staring, staring, staring
03:42Don't cry, I'm just from the city
03:47Raised on late trains into bright nights
03:53Don't cry, my car looks pretty
03:57I just learned
